Today, I ticked off the first in my list of places to visit in Birmingham - Cofton Park. It's within easy walking distance of my house, but I've been waiting for the combination of a day with good weather, when I'm also at home with nothing better to do. That day was today. It's not the most exciting park - the Birmingham City Council page for the park describes it as "mainly made up by open grassland", but there are some trees and certainly plenty to look at. It's also not flat, with slopes and gradients throughout the park dominated by a ridge at the western edge.
