Where to stay in Tettenhall Wood
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Wightwick Manor is the reason to come out here. Tettenhall Wood is a suburb of houses on a hill, with Wightwick to the west, Compton to the south and Tettenhall to the east, and the rooms sit back in Wolverhampton rather than along any street inside the ward. The city centre lies east.
From some of the houses on this hill it is claimed that the Malvern Hills come into view. Tettenhall Court and Tettenhall Towers give the district its grander addresses, none of which is a hotel.
