Blackheath is a lively market town tucked between Halesowen and Oldbury, right at the heart of the West Midlands. It's the kind of place that feels properly rooted—full of local character, with its own identity and a good bit of bustle around the high street. There's a strong sense of community here, the kind that's built on years of shared stories, familiar faces, and the everyday rhythm of local life. While it's close enough to Birmingham to make commuting easy, Blackheath holds its own as a place to live, work and shop.

The town's history runs deep, shaped like much of the Black Country by coal, iron and industry. In the 19th century, Blackheath grew rapidly as mining and metalwork brought people flooding into the area. Before that, it was little more than a patch of heathland—hence the name. The expansion of railways and canals helped it thrive, and the grit of working-class life is still woven into its streets. Many of the original factories are long gone, but the spirit of hard work and resilience remains. These days, Blackheath forms part of the Sandwell borough, with a population in the region of 13,000, though that swells quite a bit when you include nearby Rowley Regis and surrounding estates.

There's always something going on in the centre of Blackheath. The high street is packed with a mix of big-name shops and proper independents, and the local market keeps that traditional town-centre energy alive. St Paul's Church gives a nod to the town's Victorian roots, while Britannia Park offers green space when you need a breather. A quick trip out brings you to the Rowley Hills, perfect for a bit of fresh air and a cracking view across the Black Country. For history lovers, there's plenty nearby—Wightwick Manor and Moseley Old Hall are both National Trust gems, while English Heritage's Dudley Castle and Boscobel House offer a good slice of drama. And just down the road, the Black Country Living Museum is a proper local favourite, with its vintage streets, trams and fish-and-chip shops.

Zooming out a bit, the rest of the West Midlands is jam-packed with places worth visiting. Birmingham's got everything from grand shopping centres to world-class museums, concert halls and buzzing food markets. Wolverhampton's home to the Grand Theatre and art galleries, while Coventry brings its own mix of medieval charm and modern architecture. If you're after green space, head out to Sandwell Valley Country Park, Lickey Hills or even Cannock Chase. Whether you're into history, music, sport or just a decent pint, there's something close at hand.

Getting to Blackheath is pretty straightforward. The town has its own railway station—Blackheath Station—on the Birmingham to Worcester line, with regular trains to Birmingham Snow Hill and beyond. The M5 is right nearby, giving you easy access north and south, and there are plenty of local roads linking into neighbouring towns. Buses run frequently through Blackheath, with direct services to Dudley, Halesowen, Oldbury and more. If you're flying in or heading further afield, Birmingham Airport is around half an hour away by car, or reachable by train with a change in Birmingham.

West Midlands is a county built on industry and invention, but it's never been just about work. It's a region of communities—big cities, little towns and tucked-away villages—all bound by a shared sense of identity. People here are straight-talking, warm, and full of pride for where they come from. It's a place of contrasts too: buzzing high streets sit alongside old churches and quiet canal walks. It's not always polished, but it's full of heart, and that's what gives it its charm.

We hope you found this Blackheath tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
