A while back I managed to get a couple of those 25p singles off Chiltern's website for a return trip from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street for Saturday 26th May. (It's not quite a post-exam celebration now as I'm doing accompaniment work for someone else's performance recital the following week, but it's as close as it gets, and it was the last day those tickets were available for!) I'm booked on the 0930 out (1117 arrival) and the 1755 return. Amounting to a fair few hours in Birmingham.
I might also like to tie it in with a half-price London Midland promo return to somewhere like Shrewsbury (for example). My question is, does anyone have any recommendations as to particularly nice places up there/interesting things to do? Not knowing much of the local area myself (I've spent some time in Worcester, Birmingham and I've done part of the Cannock Chase trail, but other than that not a lot)...
