Bournville's Recognition and Amenities

The panel praised the area, noting, "The Cadbury family’s model garden village feels like an escape from big city life. Today’s residents are more lawyers, teachers and IT professionals than factory workers but, like their predecessors, enjoy strolling around Bournville Park, gathering around the village green or walking the dog along the Worcester and Birmingham canal." The property benefits from easy access to Birmingham city centre via the A38 Bristol Road South and is close to amenities such as Rowheath Playing Fields, Woodlands Park, and Cadbury World.
