There are influential cities and urban areas with wealth which radiated out into the countryside leading to some outstanding and fine architectural gems which have been beautifully preserved plus, the West Midlands has excellent travel links from all corners of the UK.

Despite its strong urban heritage and industrial cities, the West Midlands is home to some stunning landscapes and scenery with pretty market towns and picturesque villages. There are plenty of lovely destinations for a country wedding including historic castles, abbeys and grand stately homes, ancient halls and manor houses. Smaller, niche settings include timbered barns and romantic farmsteads plus a smattering of the unusual including canal and riverside settings, outdoor venues and even treetop locations for a wedding at height.
