Renowned for being one of the UK's major coal mining and steel production hubs, the city of Wolverhampton has a long and diverse history that makes it an attractive destination for tourists each year. Located just 12 miles from another significant Midlands city, Birmingham, this town is part of an important network of culture and heritage. Wolverhampton has plenty to offer its visitors, from art galleries to the racecourse, so you can be sure you'll always be energised during your trip.
Those heading to the city for its history will find many activities and attractions to keep them entertained, including Moseley Old Hall — the secret hideout of late King Charles II — and the White Ladies Priory, a partially-preserved ruin that was once home to a convent of Augustinian canonesses (another name for nuns!) Or, for those that prefer to immerse themselves in the present day, Wolves Museum is home to sporting memorabilia from the city's native football club, Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., alongside the team's home ground, Molineux Stadium, which makes for a great afternoon out.
