Red House Glass Cone Heritage and Craft CentrePart of the Black Country UNESCO Global Geopark, the Stourbridge glass quarter has been home to glassmaking for over 400 years. There are several different attractions here, including the 18th-century Red House Glass Cone. Now one of only four cones left in the UK, it was used for the manufacture of glass until 1936. Discover more of its fascinating history during your visit, head to the visitor centre and artisan craft studios to browse the stunning range of locally-produced glassware and handcrafted items for sale, or treat yourself to the Belgian hot chocolate in the Red Cone Coffee House.
Limestone mines
Limestone minesThe Black Country’s mining heritage comes to life at the incredible limestone mines in Dudley. Thousands of tonnes of limestone were dug out here in the 18th century and transported through the narrow tunnels to fuel the Industrial Revolution. Pop on your hard hat and enjoy a skipper-guided underground cruise along the world-famous Dudley Canal Tunnel to take in these impressive tunnels and limestone mines. We learn more about the history of this hidden world with two different underground audio-visual shows – a unique experience to remember!
