More info:
You don't need to ramble up a mountain to find out about the natural history
of Britain. OK, you're not going to come across any fossils or spectacular
scenery but Birmingham has a natural history as interesting as anywhere
else in the UK.
On this Walk Through Time in the heart of the city, you'll
find out about Birmingham's past as a forest, a swamp and underneath an
ice sheet hundreds of metres thick. Then you'll walk right up to the present
day, through Birmingham's history as a settlement and a thriving hub for
industry. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just see some rare birds!
