Hidden Spring Escapes in Birmingham: Reservoir Walks & St. Martin’s Church

#birminghamtrip For a refreshing spring outing in Birmingham, I explored two lesser-known yet charming spots—a peaceful reservoir and the historic St. Martin’s Church. I started at Edgbaston Reservoir, a tranquil escape just outside the city center. Walking along the water’s edge, I watched swans glide across the lake while joggers and dog walkers enjoyed the crisp spring air. The path offered serene reflections of the sky and a perfect contrast to the city’s bustling streets. Next, I made my way to St. Martin’s Church, a hidden gem in Birmingham’s Bullring. This Victorian Gothic masterpiece stood in stark contrast to the modern shopping district around it. Inside, the intricate stained-glass windows cast colorful patterns on the walls, creating a peaceful and timeless atmosphere. From waterside tranquility to historical charm, this small Birmingham spring adventure proved that the city’s best green spaces and hidden landmarks are waiting to be discovered.
