Aston is one of Birmingham’s outer districts, located to the north of the city centre.

The area was originally a country estate presided over by the Holte family, but today it is one of Birmingham’s many residential suburbs.

Nevertheless, it is a pleasant area to visit, offering welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of inner city Birmingham.

The district of Aston is most famous for the mansion house Aston Hall, and of course for being home to Aston Villa Football Club.
