Astonished Birmingham is on the list. Awful place to live....however

the surrounding countryside is very nice with loads of picture book villages within 25 miles of Brum Centre for shopping / shows etc.

Warwickshire to the East and South East, Worcestershire to the West and South West, Staffordshire to the North and Shropshire to the North West. All very pleasant, but Birmingham itself. No way.
