Location suggestions in west midlands

[kman]

Hi all,

I'm planning an on-location fashion shoot (for a friend mine) based in the west midlands area (around Dudley/Walsall etc) and need to find a location thats suitable for a spring fashion theme - a nice scenic park or country house of some sort most likely.

Could anyone give me any recommended places? The one place I have found so far is Dudley Priory but if anyone knows any similar or better places would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

never photographed at these places so can't recommend any I'm afraid, however in the interests of trying to be helpful, how about:

Hagley Hall
Walsall Arboretum
Baggeridge Country Park
Himley Hall

although I'd imagine you'd need permission at most if not all

New Hall in Sutton Coldfield is worth a look. Or maybe somewhere like Warwick castle, depending what you have in mind.

+1 for New Hall. Dont forget Sutton Park either

Bar Beacon can look stunning to, the old bandstand thing & birmingham city in the distance.

The Priory ruins at Dudley are great (Used to be my back garden) but be careful of timings because they are very popular for weddings,Himley hall is also very photogenic but you wont be able to shoot indoors and there may be problems if you try the terrace.Somebody earlier mentioned Hagley Hall but as that is the home of Viscount Cobham I would rull it out.
