Bournville, Model village in Birmingham, England

The residential area consists of 370 houses with gardens, parks, and recreational spaces spread across 330 acres of land in southwest Birmingham.

In 1879, the Cadbury brothers relocated their chocolate factory from central Birmingham to create improved living conditions for workers in this green location.

The Rowheath Pavilion serves as a central gathering place where residents participate in sports activities, social events, and community celebrations throughout the year.

The area connects to Birmingham city center through the Bournville railway station on the Cross-City Line and multiple bus routes.

The entire village operates under specific guidelines that prohibit alcohol sales, maintaining its original Quaker principles established by the Cadbury family.
