Situated on the southern edge of the West Midlands, Dorridge occupies a practical middle ground between the built-up surrounds of Solihull and the open fields of the Warwickshire countryside. It is a place that owes much of its existence to the Victorian railway; before the station opened in 1852, the area was largely undeveloped scrubland. Today, that station remains the heart of the locality, providing a direct link to both Birmingham Snow Hill and London Marylebone. The village layout is spacious, defined by wide, leafy avenues and the 140-acre Dorridge Park, which transitions into the Blythe Valley nature reserve. While the small square offers the essentials - a supermarket, a few independent shops, and a surgery - there is a distinct quietness here compared to nearby Bentley Heath or Knowle. It’s the kind of place where the urban footprint ends quite abruptly, making it easy to walk from the station platform to a public footpath through farmland in less than ten minutes.
