Lickey Hills Country Park is a green space close to Birmingham. Renowned for pretty woodlands, wildflower displays, abundant wildlife, open space, and a sense of serenity on the city’s doorstep, it is a prized local asset. The park opened in 1888 after famous local chocolatiers the Cadbury family donated the former Royal hunting grounds. A must-see is the Beacon Hill Toposcope, which affords wonderful views over the countryside and into Birmingham.

Hiking

Lots of lovely woodland and hill walks to choose from. Just remember to get there early if you go on a bank holiday, as it soon gets busy.

Hiking

Lots of variety, gentle hills, woodland, ponds, heathland, two cafes. Some history too including remains of ww2 sites. The walks are a few miles long. You can also combine with a walk around Barnt Green or to Waseley. Helpful rangers have maps and can advise on the best walks. A good visitor centre. I usually cycle there or start a walk at Barnt Green station. For those who want a park experience there is a good playground area close to the visitor centre.
