Turnberry Estate is a residential area of Bloxwich in the West Midlands of England. It was developed during the 1980s for the construction of new privately owned homes, and has borders with the countryside which heads away from Bloxwich in the direction of Cannock. Houses on the Turnberry Estate are some of most desirable and popular in Bloxwich, if not the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall. The North Walsall cemetery is also situated in the middle of the estate.
The estate is served by the 2 and 2AArriva bus routes and Bloxwich North railway station is located on the western edge of the estate.
The estate was preceded by a much older manor house, which was at times host to a travelling judge or law man appointed by the capital to give judgment on locals every time he returned. This was believed to have been destroyed by fire after running into ruin in the 1970s.
