KINGSBURY LOCATION DESCRIPTION
Kingsbury village is situated between Birmingham and Tamworth, which is 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north, and overlooks the River Tame & Kingsbury Water Park. Most notable for the Water Park, but not forgetting it’s shooting range and a large oil storage depot to the north-east, the village is now a most popular commuter belt for Birmingham & the surrounding affluent areas of Solihull, Sutton Coldfield & Lichfield. This has been made possible by its close proximity to the A5, A38, M42, M5, M6 & the M1 to the North. This is now further enhanced by its enviable position for those aiming to commute further afield via the new Birmingham hub of the HS2.
Having grown to service the now defunct colliery Kingsbury is now mainly a large commuter village. Although relatively small, the village has facilities and services including a primary school, a secondary school, a swimming pool (situated at the secondary school but open to the public), two public houses, the Swan and the Royal Oak, St Peter’s church, a doctors' & dentist surgery, take away restaurants and local shops. Its population is over 8000 inhabitants and is now frequently referred to as a small town rather than a village.
Kingsbury Water Park, which is situated between Kngsbury and Bodymoor Heath, is a series of 15 lakes, situated in 600 acres (2.4 km2) of land. It was reclaimed from the old gravel pits but is now home to a camp site, tea rooms, children's play areas, a sailing club, model boat club and jet ski and power boat racing clubs - not to mention a vast array of local wildlife & the perfect destination for a lazy afternoons stroll in idyllic relaxing surroundings.
The nearest town, Tamworth, includes the convenient Ankerside Shopping Centre which features a wide selection of shops and eateries. A choice of large supermarkets can also be found near the town centre, and to the south there’s the Ventura Retail Park, a huge retail and activity destination catering to an array of tastes - literally with its eateries aswell as with clothing & furtniture stores.
