Knowle is a large village approximately 1 mile from Junction 5 of the M42 motorway and some 3 miles from Solihull town centre. Village amenities are centred around a traditional high street, offering a high-end local butcher, luxury bakery, hairdressers, boutique dress shops for both men and women, a handful of bespoke wine, gin and ale bars, with new acclaimed eatery and bar ‘Cheals’. The Greswolde Hotel and Wilsons Arms offer an ongoing traditional presence, whilst local residents are able to satisfy all shopping needs not only from individual stores but also a small Tesco as well as picking up a Costa along the way. The picturesque sight of whites on the cricket pitch are often seen on a summer’s afternoon at the well-supported cricket and tennis club off Station Road. Knowle football club off Hampton Road and excellent rugby facility at The Old Silhillians ground appeal to all age groups and new members are most welcome.

To the end of the high street, Grade I Listed Knowle Parish Church is over 600 years old, still to this day promoting and maintaining the community ethos within the village. Birmingham NEC, International Airport and Railway Station are within about 5 miles and offer excellent network connections throughout the UK, with direct links to Birmingham city centre and services of approx. 1hr 10 mins to London Euston. Arden Academy invites pupils from age 11 to 18 and has become an aspirational focus for local junior schools. Whilst maintaining village characteristics, Knowle has maintained itself to be one of the most desirable locations for all generations, also proud to be home to two National Trust properties at Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House.
