Neighbourhood
The Shires retirement village apartments are perfectly located to provide endless opportunities for entertainment and discovery, however you wish to spend your days.
Situated within the leafy suburb of Moseley, one of the most desirable and popular areas of Birmingham, it offers a bustling neighbourhood with lots to see and do right on the doorstep.
A place to inspire
Moseley is blessed with a rich and storied history. As the childhood playground of JRR Tolkien, its green spaces inspired the ‘old forest’ in his books The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.
These lush and tranquil environments continue to stir the senses, and provide a beautiful way to surround yourself with nature.
A place to excite
Moseley has retained the heart and soul of a village, despite its evolution into a lively and cosmopolitan leisure destination.
- Moseley is renowned for the variety and quality of its cuisine, including Michelin star dining courtesy of Carters of Moseley.
- It also has lots of great traditional pubs and independent coffee shops.
- For delicious fresh produce, its award-winning monthly Farmers’ Market is a must visit.
- It is home to two festivals, The Moseley Festival and the Mostly Jazz, Funk and Soul Festival, bringing the best in arts, culture and music.
- And, of course, the bright lights of Birmingham are just two miles away.
A place to live
In 2015, Moseley was named as ‘The best urban place to live’ by The Sunday Times, with the newspaper citing its Arts and Crafts architecture, Bohemian culture and ‘splendid wilderness’ as some of the best reasons to live in the suburb. It was also highlighted by The Guardian as a great location to live, for similar reasons.
