Been thinking about this after a chapter where Philip describes that flat Midlands horizon and how it felt both suffocating and oddly comforting. Made me curious — for those of you who know Birmingham and the bits around it, where do you actually go when you need a bit of air?

The Lickeys get mentioned a lot. Clent feels like it earns its views. And I've heard the canal towpaths can take you somewhere surprisingly peaceful if you just keep walking.

Where's your spot? And just as importantly — where do you get the cuppa after?
