Knowle West Midlands Map

About Knowle

Knowle, a jewel in the Solihull district, presents a quiet charm to those who approach its heart. It lies 4.0 km south-east of Solihull (from Solihull: bearing 133°T, OS grid SP 181 767), and is situated south-south-east of Copt Heath village. The village green, a sweep of emerald, often catches the afternoon sun, imbuing the surrounding brick and timbered buildings with a warm, mellow glow. Its history as a stopping point on the old coach road between London and Birmingham has left a tangible imprint, a sense of travellers paused and journeys begun. St. John the Baptist Church, with its ancient spire reaching towards the often soft West Midlands sky, stands as a silent witness to centuries of village life. The air here, especially on a market day, carries a faint, pleasant aroma of produce and baked goods, a subtle testament to its enduring role as a local hub.
