Dudley: A Town with a Long History and Modern Hotels

Served by excellent road and rail links, and with Birmingham Airport little more than half an hour’s drive away, Dudley is easily accessible, whatever your reason for visiting. Its roots begin in Saxon times, when the settlement of Dudda’s Leah was thought of as the Black Country’s capital. However, this small village became a powerful part of the whole country’s economy with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Dudley quickly became the centre for a number of industries, including glass-making, iron works and coal-mining.

Today, Dudley is warm and welcoming, with plenty of accommodation in and around the town. Many of the local B&Bs and hotels have their own stories to tell, such as the Himley Country Hotel, which once acted as home to the Lord of Dudley himself.
