Dudley

Known as the historic capital of the Black Country, Dudley has been enjoying a recent multi-million-pound regeneration programme that has seen a new enterprise zone for business and innovation created at its centre as well as a whole new branch of the new Midland Metro Line. Aside from a bright future, it is proud of its rich industrial past.

Not far from your new home is the Black Country Living Museum and the Stourbridge Glass Quarter. There are also limestone mines at the Canal & Caverns as well as the landmark Dudley Zoo and Castle. Merry Hill shopping centre has 240 retailers with over 50 places to eat – but if you want more, Birmingham City Centre is only 10 miles away from our new build development.
