Barr Beacon sits at 227 metres — the highest point in the West Midlands — and on a clear day you can see across to the Welsh hills. Aldridge spreads out below it, a large village technically in the West Midlands borough of Walsall but feeling firmly Staffordshire in character.
It's become one of the most popular places in the area for families relocating from Birmingham. Excellent schools, good property value for money compared to Sutton Coldfield, and Cannock Chase within easy reach. The demand has meant steady new-build activity, particularly around the Leighswood and Northgate areas.
Lazy Hill earns its name — it's genuinely steep in places. We always put our experienced crew on moves there and we use wheeled dollies rather than carrying heavy furniture down by hand.
Aldridge Airport (private light aircraft) sits on the northern edge of the village. Road access to properties near the airport perimeter can be narrow — we use our medium van for these. The A454 and A452 give us fast access from Burntwood.
