Birmingham Airport Transfers

1. Warwick is 20-odd miles south, and a Birmingham Airport transfer can have you there well within the hour. This historic town is home to the stunning Collegiate Church of St Mary, a castle, local museums and a canal to stroll alongside. Alternatively, enjoy a trip to Warwick Racecourse.
2. Stratford-upon-Avon is a global tourist draw, and, of course, Shakespeare’s home town. It’s a similar distance from the airport to Warwick. Visit the Bard’s birthplace, grave and wife Anne Hathaway’s cottage, while taking in the gorgeous timber-framed buildings and museum pieces. Or catch a Shakespeare play at one of the town’s three theatres.
3. Royal Leamington Spa on the winding River Leam is slightly closer at 17 miles or a 35-minute airport transfer from Birmingham. It’s famous for its wide boulevards and Regency architecture. Don’t miss the nineteenth century Royal Pump Rooms bathhouse, or Jephson Gardens’ flowers and tropical plants.
4. Coventry is just 10 miles or 20 minutes up the road. With plenty to offer in the way of shopping and dining, you’ll also want to see the famous cathedral, plus there are some great local museums. Meanwhile, Kenilworth Castle and its Elizabethan gardens are on the doorstep.
5. Birmingham’s regenerated city centre is bursting with outstanding dining, shopping, entertainment and culture. See the stunning new library among other key buildings, or enjoy some retail therapy at the revamped New Street Station.
