Lots of jellerery shops and nice area not too far from centre. Disappointed museum was closed but can't be helped. Buildings were lovely especially the clock tower

Vicky our tour guide was absolutely brilliant. Her depth of knowledge was incredible and she really brought our tour of the Jewellery Quarter to life. She could talk about every aspect of the history of the area. Fascinating!
