Mention Edgbaston to virtually any one and the first thing that they think of is the cricket! Famous for its cricket ground and home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club first established in 1864 by a group of aristocrats and gentlemen, the rest, as they say is history. Edgbaston though can trace its roots back to the Domesday Book and today much of the area is deemed to be Conservation Areas, such as St Augustine’s, Lee Crescent and Ryland Road which cover around half the area. Much of this is down to the Calthorpe Estate as they have through time been particularly diligent in preserving the quality and character of the area. For example south of Hagley Road the buildings there reflect architecture from the Regency period through to Gothic and many of these buildings are listed. Edgbaston has a number of Nature Conservation Areas, three in total and it is also here where the BBC studios are located, together with the Edgbaston Reservoir and the Botanical Gardens, some 15 acres of superb gardens housing one of the finest collection of plants in the Midlands. From here in Edgbaston there is plenty to explore and for the tourist, never mind the cricket enthusiast, there are ample opportunities to enjoy a flavour of the Midlands.
