History and Culture

Running between the two biggest towns in the country (London and Birmingham), and also going to such destinations as historical Stratford-on-Avon and rural Buckinghamshire, on Chiltern Railways you are never far from a cultural gem or two. While the capital is one, Birmingham makes a perfect base to take a mooch round the friendliest open-air living museum in Britain and explore the Black Country, "Brewie Leven" in one hand, and "toughie appul" in the other!
