You know, it's amazing how fast a museum pops up after they make a significant discovery, though as…read moreit turns out sometimes it does take quite a while for a museum to appear at times. Still, it was only recently that King Richard's body was found, and yeah, suddenly a King Richard museum appears on top of the grave site. Then again, that is sort of similar to how shrines and churches in the past appeared on special sites. Yeah, the museum was actually pretty cool, it's just a shame that you have to catch a cab to get to Bosworth Fields.

The highlight of the Visitor Center is the opportunity to view the gravesite where his remains were discovered. A viewing floor made of glass covers the site, allowing visitors to view the location of the dig and discovery. It features a hologram projection that allows viewers to see what the skeleton looked like when uncovered. Also fascinating is a replica of the skeleton, in a different part of the Visitor Center, and a video display of CT scan results of the wounds on Richard's bones and analysis of the weapons likely to have made them. Other exhibits briefly review the dynastic battles that later became known as the War of the Roses.

The Rest House can be found in the heart of Bournville Village Green. Whenever I go past the…read morevisitor centre, it's usually looked/been closed. Only on a couple of occasions have I managed to get inside, so I'm not entirely sure when this monument's opening times are! Once you do finally get into the grand piece of architecture, you are met by displays on every wall, which provide information about the Cadbury family (and the history of the Quakers). It's truly interested knowledge that's definitely worth a read! The building is as beautiful inside as it is out, with information carved into the walls, such as 'John Junior Cadbury 1906-2006' (I still can't believe he lived to be a hundred!) As well as the historical elements to this visitor centre, the shop also sells gifts such as jewellery, pens, wooden carved mushrooms and wooden carved owls. There's also a lot of replicated equipment from the Quaker period, such as old knifes and tea strainers. The Rest House is a great place to get a quick insight into Cadbury's, or to buy a present for someone. It is definitely a place I recommend visiting.

This is such a beautiful building and it really does remind me that Bournville is a Quaker village…read more It is beautifully placed on Bournville Green, which makes is look tranquil and very peaceful. Inside they have lots of history information about Bournville as a Quaker village and also lots of information about Cadbury's World, which I suppose is expected as it is such a short distance away. They also sell a few gifts and souvenirs inside, which is good for tourists and those who have not been to Bournville before. Even if you do not go into the centre, it is a lovely place to just go and sit near and relax and take in the loveliness of the green and the surroundings as Bournville is such a lovely part of Birmingham.

However, it is a great location as you would expect, jam packed with flyers for every type of event in Birmingham and the surrounding area. The staff are a fountain of knowledge too (unless you pick someone on their first day), however, my positive experience with the Visitor Information Centre is from a difference perspective, as an event organiser. Every time I have an event in the city, I take in few flyers and even if they can't fit them in the holders, they will display them on their desk and hand out to anyone that enquires about relevant events.

The building is full of leaflets helping the tourists and residents alike, negotiate Birmingham's varied art scene. They have flyers for absolutely everything. If you're interested in going to the theatre or cinema, taking a browse around a museum or you want to visit one of Birmingham's many parks and stately homes then this is the first port of call to discover times, costs and locations. Located in the centre of the town and only a two minute walk out of Birmingham New St Station you'll find the Visitor Centre where it is needed most. This centre becomes absorbed into the bustling German markets at Christmas time. Fairytale cottages surround the modern building as all of Frankfurt descends upon Birmingham for the busy winter season. Don't forget, if you can't find a friendly passer-by, the centre also does directions better than anyone. Take advantage and pick up your free city centre map from the kind and helpful staff.
