Cannon Hill
Park is one of the premier parks in Berminham and has been
awarded Green Flag status. With
beautiful flowerbeds, lakes, pools and
a wonderful collection of trees, it''s easy to see why. There''s
plenty of opportunity for exercise at the park''s tennis courts, bowling and
putting greens and wildlife enthusiasts can follow the walkways and
cycle routes longside the River Rea. The conservation
area within the park includes a 5 acre woodland known as the ''RSPB Centenary
Plantation''. There is also a wildflower meadow, which is sown each year
with cornfield annuals such as field . cornflower and corn
marigold, providing visitors to the Park with a spectacle which is very
rare in the urban environment. Traditional forms of land management are
used to enhance this beautiful area, less than 2 miles from the
centre of Birmingham. The park is an ideal venue for families with
children''s play
areas and boats for hire on the lake in the summer.
There are plenty of picnic areas and refreshments are available at the
Garden Tea Rooms and the Midland Arts Centre.
