About the area

The up-and-coming Wednesfield Road area is part of Wolverhampton's impressive regeneration plans - and St Peter's Walk is one of the closest property developments to the city centre and railway station.

Wolverhampton itself is one of the UK's exciting new Millennium cities and is a thriving cosmopolitan community with a vibrant mix of shopping, art, theatre, commerce, leisure and nightlife - both the city centre and surrounding areas.

Shops

Alongside the original market that has been in place for some seven centuries, there are an increasing number of designer shops, bars and restaurants, while the Mander and Wulfrun Centres provide an excellent choice of high street names and large department stores.

St Peter's Walk is also next to the traditional village centre of Wednesfield and a busting market operates in the High Street up to four times a week.

Recent pedestrianisation has also made it an attractive environment in which to shop, plus it will soon be linked by a new walkway to the impressive Bentley Bridge leisure park nearby - featuring a multi-screen cinema, gym, restaurants and major retail park with substantial free parking.  

Schools

There is a good selection of infant, junior and secondary schools in the vicinity, but for admissions enquiries contact Wolverhampton City Council Education Services on 01902 551 459.

(Sorry, but we cannot guarantee that the schools listed are within the catchment area or have available places; or that this is a complete list of all schools in the local area.)

Transport

Wolverhampton has excellent public and private transportation ranging from simple city centre cycle lanes to the Midland Metro light rail system.

It's at the heart of the Midland's motorway network and provides regular rail services to Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International Airport.

Lane 1 of the Midland Metro provides a fast link between Wolverhampton and Snow Hill station in Birmingham city centre (via West Bromwich and Wednesbury) and has a journey time of just 35 minutes. It helps to reduce traffic congestion and pollution and the network is due to be extended to cover more of the city and the West Midlands conurbation.

Wolverhampton is also seen as the gateway between the historic Black Country and the beautiful surrounding countryside of Staffordshire and Shropshire - and is just 17 miles from Birmingham itself.

Health

The area offers a good choice of both private and NHS services, while New Cross Hospital nearby is the local Accident & Emergency facility.

Leisure

There are many parks and green spaces all over the city offering nature and wildlife reserves, while West Park in the centre is one of England's finest Victorian parks and features a boating lake, beautiful floral displays, tropical greenhouses and the original bandstand.

Culturally speaking, Wolverhampton excels too - with an innovative and expanding art gallery, the Grade II Listed Grand Theatre, plus the Civic and Wulfrun Halls are the main concert venues for the Black Country area.

Sports enthusiasts are equally well catered for with the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC 'Molineux' ground in the heart of the city, Britain's first all-weather racecourse (Dunstall Park) nearby, and one of the oldest (but recently modernised) speedway tracks in the world in Monmore Stadium just a mile or so away.

Local tourist attractions include Bilston Craft Gallery (the largest dedicated craft venue in the region) Hobeach House in Himley, which hosted the final act of the Gunpowder Plot, and two National Trust buildings in the William Morris inspired Wightwick Manor and Moseley Old Hall, which dates back to Elizabethan times.

Just a mile out of the city is the Grade II Listed Bantock House, which is set in 48 acres of historic parkland and is full of local treasures.
