Before we continued on our journey out of England and onto Cardiff in Wales we paid a visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham. Having lived in Dunedin much of the last twenty years, we of course regularly saw and on two occasions visited the huge Cadbury chocolate factory and Cadbury World tourist attraction. Sadly when the parent company was sold to Mondelez in 2010, only a few years later they decided to close not just the historic Dunedin Cadbury factory, but also the Cadbury World attraction leaving only the Birmingham one.
On the day we visited Birmingham’s Cadbury World it was a typical UK summer day – raining. Subsequently, other than a quick look around the large factory shop, we didn’t do the tour or spend more than the time required to go to and from our rental car as we visited the shop. The shop itself is fairly large and has a good range of Cadbury chocolate products on display to purchase. It even has a small number of robotic type display pieces. There is also a café just off to the side of the shop, so having a quick cup of tea or one of their tempting slices is a definite option.
We rated Cadbury World (shop area) – 7 out of 10 Kiwis
