Blakesley Hall is a timber-framed Tudor house just a few miles from Birmingham city centre, built in 1590 by merchant Richard Smalbroke. Inside, you can wander the Great Parlour, Great Hall and Long Gallery, and see the painted chamber whose Tudor wall paintings were only revealed after WWII bomb damage. Outside, the gardens offer a peaceful herb garden, fruit trees and picnic spots. It suits families and anyone curious about Tudor and Stuart life, with guided Discovery Tours and seasonal exhibitions such as Florence Mare's Yardley paintings adding extra interest. The Hall is open Wednesday to Sunday, with free garden access. For a stay nearby, Stechford station is just 0.8 miles away, and there are 72 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
