About

Woodgate Valley lies on Birmingham's southwestern edge, characterised by its large expanse of rural parkland within the city. The area is primarily residential, with housing estates and local schools centred around the preserved green corridor of the valley itself. This open space follows the course of the Bourn Brook, providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding urban fabric.

The area's core is Woodgate Valley Country Park, a working urban farm and extensive meadows that offer a focus for local recreation. Paths network through fields and woodland, connecting neighbourhoods to the farm's activities. This blend of agriculture and public parkland defines the local environment, with the rural character maintained despite the proximity to major routes like the A456.
