Where to stay in Witton
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Match days set the rhythm. Villa Park fills the streets around Witton whenever Aston Villa Football Club play, and the few guest rooms nearby fill early, so Aston Hall and the Aston Manor Road Transport Museum see visitors who sleep elsewhere. Birmingham city centre carries the real hotel range, a short run south of Perry Barr and the Aston streets.

About Witton
What are the main landmarks in Witton?
Villa Park dominates. Aston Hall stands nearby as the older set piece, and the Church of SS Peter & Paul, Aston keeps the parish name that once covered this whole stretch of ground. The Aston Manor Road Transport Museum, the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity and St Luke and St John the Evangelist's Church, Perry Barr fill out the list.
Aston War Memorial marks the 8th Battalion, The Warwickshire Regiment. Canterbury Cross Junior And Infants' School closes it.
What is the history of Witton?
Warwickshire came first. Witton lay in the ancient parish of Aston, inside the Hemlingford hundred of that historic county, long before Birmingham reached out to take it and the West Midlands became the name on the map. Aston Hall, in Aston itself, predates all of that municipal reshuffling.
Villa Park brought a second identity, and the Aston War Memorial to the 8th Battalion, The Warwickshire Regiment keeps the older county name in stone.
Where is Witton?
Witton occupies inner Birmingham within the metropolitan county of the West Midlands, with Aston alongside it and Perry Barr just beyond.
