Get out of town with these interesting Birmingham side-trips: Hidcote Manor Garden (in Chipping Campden) and Warwick Castle (in Warwick). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of Birmingham Back to Backs, explore the world behind art at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, get engrossed in the history at Coffin Works, and examine the collection at Cadbury World.
