Depends how high your were. The CTA base near Alcester is 2500ft so if you
were below that you should have been fine.
You would have had to go further east than Tanworth or Henley in Arden
before you got into lower airspace.

I've just had my knuckles rapped and rightly so.
I've just flown Ronaldsway to Alcester, VFR, in ASv6 weather. I wasn't
using voice and my flightplan contained the usual "remaining outside
controlled airspace"; only I didn't! When approaching Alcester, over
Redditch, it was obvious I was going to have to use RWY 18. I got sloppy
and instinctively flew a LH circuit and that took me just inside the
manned Birmingham zone D boundary. The Lockyears notes should mention
this but don't. I should have spotted what would happen and flown a
right hand circuit. Even better, I should have flown a RH circuit AND
contacted Birmingham Tower, to put his mind at rest.
I can recommend the route though. EGNS to Llandudno then direct to
Alcester. It takes you over Nantclwyd, Rednal etc.
