Cannon Hill Park

“Such a lovely day out, park, rides and wild life parks all for the kids!”

“Lovely green lung on the edge of the city with a boating lake, parkland and some formal gardens. Perfect for a stroll to enjoy the birds and wildlife. There was a pleasant cafe to buy snacks and hot drinks. 57 acres of land was donated to the corporation in 1873 by a local benefactor, Miss Louisa Anne Ryland. Close to the MAC (Midlands Arts Centre) a contemporary arts venue and Edgbaston cricket ground.”

“A Perfect Sunny Day at Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham My wife and I recently spent a sunny afternoon at Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the park's stunning natural beauty - wide open green spaces, beautiful flowerbeds, and the gentle sound of birds singing and water trickling through the stream. It’s the perfect escape from the noise of the city. We took a long, relaxing walk through the park, and every step was a joy. The fresh air, peaceful atmosphere, and scenic views made it feel like a small piece of countryside right in the heart of Birmingham. Along the way, we passed several charming coffee shops and an ice cream van, which added a lovely touch to our visit - ideal for taking a short break and enjoying a treat. One of the highlights is the presence of the historic MAC (Midlands Arts Centre), located within the park. It offers exhibitions, performances, and a café with outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a drink while soaking in the view. There are also picturesque bridges, boating lake areas, and even a small funfair for families. Whether you’re going for a walk, having a picnic, or just sitting on a bench to relax, Cannon Hill Park offers something for everyone. We truly enjoyed every single minute and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Birmingham - it’s a hidden gem that captures both the beauty of nature and the charm of the city's history.
