Lode Heath

Lode Heath is a residential neighbourhood in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands. The area is centred on Lode Lane, which runs through local streets and marks the informal heart of the community. Housing includes a mix of interwar terraces, post-war semi-detached homes and later infill developments. Local provision covers day-to-day needs: small shops, a primary school, a community centre and a handful of pubs and takeaways serve nearby streets. Several pocket parks and playing fields sit within walking distance of most homes.

Public transport links are focused on bus services that connect Lode Heath to Solihull town centre and neighbouring districts, while main roads give access to the wider West Midlands. Community groups use the recreation grounds and halls for sports and meetings, and residents tend to rely on local facilities rather than travelling for routine errands. The straight run of Lode Lane and the surviving pattern of mid-20th-century streets make the area easy to navigate on foot or by bike.
