Not particularly, unless you like houses and trees.

Some may disagree, but during a ride on the 37 (2202), for the first time in a few years, actually, the distance between Acocks Green and Olton Station is actually quite 'adventurous', to me, at least.

MMC's aren't too bad.

I've only ever traveled on 1 Diamond Route and it was the 56 (Birmingham to Brownhills) and I found it to be quite a scenic route. Nice countryside before hitting the High Street of Brownhills

Courtesy of NWM's free nNetwork day ticket, I'd like to add Johnson's 87 and Diamond's 82 (both Coventry to Solihull).

The 87 in particular is very scenic, as it passes through rural Solihull, lots of winding country roads between Burton Green, Balsall Common and Knowle.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Yardley Wood's 50 is quite scenic when it travels along Bells Lane heading towards the terminus at Druids Heath.
