One of the highest points for miles around, Beacon Hill affords magnificent views over the countryside and into Birmingham. Historically, beacons would be lit on this hilltop to warn of invading armies. Beacon Hill Toposcope was built to mark the creation of the Lickey Hills Country Park after famous local chocolatiers the Cadbury family donated the former Royal hunting grounds to the public.

This is a great spot to watch the fireworks in November. Just be careful of those who set them off up here and parking can get very busy.
