Such weird metrics to go by. They're counting the distance between the top attractions which just so happens to include Cadbury World which is way out in the suburb of Bourneville. And they're also including natural phenomenon such as elevation differences.
It's not as if it's a good reflection on the pedestrian-friendliness of the city.

    So true. It's just purely a weird way of calculating this. Birmingham has come on leaps and bounds with walk ability in the city centre and suburbs. On the few occasions I'm there, I love taking a walk around the city centre noticing the changes and less cars you have to deal with. Nobody would be able to change that you need a bus to get to a suburb housing this attraction.
