Great little escape that feels miles away from the city! 🚜🐄 The working farm is brilliant—kids love seeing the animals up close and the playground keeps them busy for ages. 🐷🛝 There’s a wicked hill for plane spotting if you fancy watching the airport traffic overhead. ✈️🌳 Perfect for a relaxed dog walk, though keep them on leads around the livestock. 🐕 Fresh air, free entry, and always a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. ☀️✨
One of the best free Picnic point for families and Friends. The main scenery is the plane viewing area. Planes land and take off just above your head Emirates, Ryanair, Easy-jet and many others. Bring a picnic blanket and track flights on your phone to time it right. It’s genuinely thrilling for kids and adults.
Great Park situated at the North end of the runway. Great spot to watch planes take off and land. Free carpark next to Marston Green railway station and a gentle 10min walk
Sheldon Country Park is a wonderful place for a family day out. The park has wide open green spaces, lovely walking trails, and plenty of room for children to run around and play safely. It is especially great for kids because they can enjoy nature, spot wildlife, and have fun outdoors. One of the best features is the airport viewpoint, where visitors can watch planes take off and land at Birmingham Airport, which is exciting for children and adults alike. A peaceful, clean, and enjoyable park that offers both relaxation and entertainment for everyone.
Wonderful place to go with kids, they will enjoy the nature and the animals. You can see them for free and also play in the park. Have a picnic and enjoy the planes will be also a great idea for the whole family. You can buy food there or you can bring your own! Very accessible and easy to go. It is also parking but not a lot. If you go early probably you will have an spot. Not complaining about nothing. Free. Beautiful. Clean. With toilets. Yes, you must have to go with your family.
