Where to stay in Yardley
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Two old buildings set the tone. Blakesley Hall and St Edburgha's Church, Yardley are the names that bring visitors east out of Birmingham, and a room here trades the centre of the city for an area that runs its own district committee. The Birmingham EcoPark sits on the same list.
Pinfold House rounds out the older stock.
