Walsall car hire

It's worth considering car rental; Walsall is surrounded by places to see and things to do...

There are many towns and cities near Walsall that are home to some of the most interesting attractions in the Midlands. 

For a wide selection of family days out in just one city, make a beeline for nearby Dudley. It's 10 miles away (a 25-minute drive) and draws visitors to three major attractions: The Black Country Living Museum, Dudley Castle, and Dudley Zoo. If you only have time for one visit, the Black Country Living Museum is highly recommended. This enchanting place unveils the industrial landscape that once blanketed so many parts of the West Midlands - it's like the clocks simply stopped one day in the 1830s. Feel the chill of the underground mines, discover how children were taught in the 19th century, journey by canal boat, see how bread and sweets were made for local residents, and taste some of the best traditionally-cooked fish and chips you're likely to get anywhere in Britain. 

Alternatively, it's a 20-minute drive into Birmingham from Walsall, where shoppers make a day of it in excellent centres such as the Bullring and the Mailbox. Art, history, music, comedy and a tasty multicultural platter of cuisine can be found in Birmingham too. 

If chocolate tickles and titillates your taste buds though, journey to Cadbury World in Bourneville, which is a 30-minute drive south of Walsall. Crammed with cocoa facts and sweet tasters, you should book tickets in advance during school holidays as this attraction is extremely popular.
