About

Blythe ward is situated in the north of the Solihull borough, encompassing the residential areas of Shirley and Monkspath. The landscape is characterised by a mix of suburban housing developments, local retail centres, and several large public parks. Its eastern boundary is defined by the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, which provides a green corridor for walking and cycling. The ward contains Shirley Park and the wider Shirley Hills open space, offering recreational green areas within the urban setting.

The area is served by major roads like the A34 Stratford Road and is adjacent to the Shirley section of the A34. A notable local feature is the historic Shirley Windmill, a preserved tower mill that dates back to the 18th century and stands as a landmark in the otherwise modern suburb. The ward includes residential neighbourhoods, schools, and community facilities typical of a suburban district, forming a key part of Solihull's northern communities.
