Perched on top of Red Mountain, the Vulcan Park and Museum is the home of Birmingham's iconic Vulcan Statue, the largest cast iron statue in the entire world.

The park surrounding the statue is a beautiful place to walk and relax, but an even better thing to do is head up to the top of the observation tower for some excellent views. Don't forget to make some time to explore the museum as well; it offers some fascinating displays about Birmingham's history and the important role the iron industry has played in the development of the city.
