About Sheldon Country Park

Sheldon Country Park covers an area of just over 300 acres. It is made up of open grassland, wetlands, old hedgerows and some mature woodland. The park's other attractions include three football pitches, a children's play area and a viewing platform for the nearby Birmingham International airport. A small dairy farm dating from the 17th century, the Old Rectory, is located near the main entrance. The farm was home to the celebrated clergyman Thomas Bray between 1690 and 1721.

It was established in 1944 when the house and grounds of the derelict Elmdon Hall were bought up by the then Solihull Urban District Council. This is a quite mature woodland, but it is well visited. The woods themselves are split in two by a beautiful open parkland with 2 pools at the bottom of the hill.

Blakesley Hall MuseumBlakesley Hall is one of the oldest Tudor Halls converted into a museum located in Birmingham, England. More than 400 years later, beautiful Blakesley is still a haven; secluded from the avenues of modern houses that lie beyond its gates. Most parts of the Blakesley Hall Mansion were damaged in a bomb blast a few years after the museum was inaugurated. However, the building was reconstructed using ancient furnishings from the inventory to recreate a structure closest to the original building.
