Local travel context
Sheldon sits close to the Birmingham–Solihull boundary, but the best route varies between the Coventry Road side and streets nearer Lyndon. This estimate begins at Sheldon Library on Brays Road. It heads towards Hobs Moat and then uses Lode Lane into Solihull rather than suggesting a clinic exists beside the A45.
