Green and extremely pleasant, Dorridge has everything required for a contemporary suburban family lifestyle. Three churches, a small shopping centre and a village hall beautifully complement the surrounding parks in what is a true taste of the Midlands countryside. Yet Dorridge Train Station, a short walk from Temple Gardens, has direct connections to Birmingham in around 20 minutes and London Euston or Marylebone in around 2 hours.

Excellent golf courses encircle the village whilst a number of fine pubs and quaint restaurants, including Forest Hotel and The Railway Inn, provide a relaxing place to eat and drink. There are a number of first-class leisure clubs and spas within easy access and, should you be into your big events, the LG and National Indoor Arenas are close by.  

The area is host to many well respected schools and colleges including Dorridge Infant and Junior school and Arden, in nearby Knowle. A large proportion of local children attend some of the country's finest private and grammar schools in Solihull, Warwick and Birmingham.
