We came here on a trip to Birmingham for an evening performance at the Hippodrome.
The grounds of the house are beautiful and sprawling with different things to see at each turn. Colours and plants of varying types and green houses for the more tropical varieties.
The house has great examples of an arts and crafts period and the story of the family is interesting too, no spoilers here! A lovely family feeling home with large windows giving a light and airy feel to the house with views over the grounds at most of the windows.
A really splendid place to spend a morning, pr afternoon and lunchtime soaking up this splendid find. There’s a quaint tea room with a terrace for warmer months.
We arrived on the train from Moor Street to University Station as part of our existing train ticket from our town, but a train ticket from Moor Street to University Station is only £2.90 one way (£3 return).
We made the short walk from the University Station through the University campus (which is quite nice, especially when you see the original old buildings), arriving at Winterbourne House and Gardens.
The walk back to the city centre afterwards was about 2 and a half miles, which took us about an hour.
Needless to say we will be back in the summer to see the new season in the gardens.

Been going to Moseley - and even to the Uni campus - for years but never knew about this place. If you’re nearby, definitely pop in, beautiful gardens with some interesting specimens

We loved visiting the beautiful spring garden and green houses in the sunshine. The house is superb too. Sadly my daughter did not feel confident about using the platform lift for wheelchair users having had poor experiences in the past.The signage for wheelchair users could be improved as we had to access the tea room via the no entry entrance.

Enjoyable few hours - gardens are lovely and the house and its history is interesting. The shop is worth a visit... good for second hand books.

Had a lovely afternoon in the sun strolling through the immaculate gardens and boardwalks. Also looked around the house which was interesting and enjoyed a cup of tea and cake on the patio.
Would recommend for a pleasant afternoon.

How far is Winterbourne from University station please, or is there a closer transport link by bus?
Hi there,
thank you for your question, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to us from University station if you cut through the campus. Following the road takes longer. The 98 and 99 buses drop you off just a few minutes walk away. Details for these routes can be found on the Travel West Midlands website.
Hope that helps,

Is there facilities to stay over the night
You can stay nearby at VenueBirmingham. I'm afraid tripadvisor won't allow web links.
Hope this helps!

Hi - can you advise about parking please? I've read on Tripadvisor reviews that there is free Parking, however the website seems to suggest that parking is limited and pay and display either on site or in a nearby multi-storey. We plan to visit on a weekday - could you please clarify where we should park? Thanks
Hi, we have approximately 50 spaces on site hence the guidance online . If parking is essential for you, arrive as close to opening (10am weekdays, 11am weekends) and you should find a space no problem. Once our parking on site is full, there is a multistorey car park less than 5 minutes walk away which is free at weekends or £3 during the week.
Thank you
