More info: You don't need to ramble up a mountain to find out about the natural history of Britain. OK, you're not going to come across any fossils or spectacular scenery but Birmingham has a natural history as interesting as anywhere else in the UK.
On this Walk Through Time in the heart of the city, you'll find out about Birmingham's past as a forest, a swamp and underneath an ice sheet hundreds of metres thick. Then you'll walk right up to the present day, through Birmingham's history as a settlement and a thriving hub for industry. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just see some rare birds!
Getting there: By bus: Call the Centro hotline on 0121 200 2700 or visit the Centro website By rail: New Street and Moor Street are close by. Visit the National Rail website for train times. By car: There are many car parks in the city centre but it is recommended you use public transport.
