Bodymoor Heath Training Ground, Sports training ground in Bodymoor Heath, England, United Kingdom
Bodymoor Heath Training Ground is the training facility for Aston Villa Football Club, located in the village of Bodymoor Heath in Warwickshire, England. It covers a large area with multiple grass and artificial pitches, a main building with indoor facilities, and parking for staff and players.
The training ground opened in the early 1970s and has been expanded several times since then. It became the club's main training base and has hosted first-team preparations for many seasons.
Fans of Aston Villa often make the short trip to the entrance on match days or during transfer windows, hoping to see players arrive or leave. The place has become a small pilgrimage spot for supporters who want to feel closer to the team.
The site is not open to the public, so you cannot enter the training areas or watch sessions. You can drive past the entrance on Bodymoor Heath Lane, but there are no visitor facilities or tours.
The facility includes a dedicated area for goalkeeping practice and a hydrotherapy pool for player recovery. These features are rarely seen by the public but are key to the daily routine of the squad.
