prefer a more toned down approach to
ending their study-filled day, there is one
of Wolverhampton’s lesser-known pubs
– The Lych Gate Tavern.The Lych Gate

but also to nature. Located on the
outskirts of the city centre in Whitmore

free to enter during the day, is used for a

celebrations. There is also a boating lake
for those who wish to try something out

The High Street oozes culture and plays
home to many a busker – and not just
teenagers with guitars trying to make an
extra couple of pounds on the weekends.
