Rubery is a mainly residential area on the A38 route into the city of Birmingham. There is a good selection of local amenities and the local residents benefit from being close to Lickey Hills and Waseley Country Park.

Waseley Country Park features one hundred and fifty acres of woodland and greenery. There is a visitor centre with a cafe and a meeting room on the site. A popular destination for walkers who find Lickey Hills just a little too crowded. Although Lickey Hills gets far more visitors and is without doubt better known to the city folk, this is worth a visit and the views are spectacular.

Longbridge is close by and the Birmingham Great Park is only a short distance from Rubery.
