About

Winterbourne was built in 1903 for the Nettlefold family. Now owned by the University of Birmingham and restored to its Edwardian Arts and Craft splendour, the house is set within seven acres of beautiful botanic gardens. Located not far from Birmingham city centre, Winterbourne is a hidden gem – home to beautiful antiques and over 6,000 plant species from around the world. The house offers two floors of exhibition rooms for you to explore while the gardens include a woodland walk, hazelnut tunnel, glass houses and a walled garden.

A Gem Of A Garden

A beautiful garden and Edwardian Villa with a cafe/tea room in the heart of the city. A well thought out and detailed access statement is available on their website. Mobility scooters available to borrow for the beautiful gardens which have excellent paths suitable for scooters or wheelchairs. Some areas of the garden weren't suitable for the scooter but we didn't feel this prevented us enjoying the majority of it. The house was a bonus on a hot sunny day and we'll go back to give that more time.
