Hotels in Bromsgrove

Bromsgrove is known for its historic role in the nail-making industry. For hundreds of years, it was a centre of hand-forged nail production, with thousands of local workers producing nails in small forges. The legacy of this can still be seen in the town's museum collections and place names. It’s also associated with the nearby Lickey Hills Country Park, a well-loved green space for walking and wildlife watching. Music lovers might also know Bromsgrove through its connection to Sir Edward Elgar, who had strong links to the area via his wife, Alice Roberts. Today, Bromsgrove combines history with a lively town centre and easy access to both countryside and nearby cities.
