Birmingham Botanical Gardens & Glasshouses
Walk 12 minutes southwest to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens & Glasshouses. Arrive by 15:23 to catch the golden light reflecting off the glass and the gardens. The late afternoon sun creates a soft, warm glow perfect for photography.

Edgbaston Village Community Garden
Head back to the anchor, Edgbaston Village Community Garden, for sunset. The community space offers a relaxed setting to watch the sun dip below the horizon in the southwest. It is a peaceful end to the walk, away from the main streets.
Local tip
The walk from the Botanical Gardens back to the Village Community Garden is short and easy. If you want to extend your evening, the Bull's Head pub in Moseley is nearby for live music, though it is a 10-minute walk from the anchor.
