Waseley Hill の頂上にある見事な木立

Bilberry Hill is one of the Lickey Hills southwest of Birmingham and northeast of Worcester. Positioned above the village of Cofton Hackett, it’s an integral part of the Lickey Hills Country Park. As part of the Lickey Ridge, composed of hard quartzite this spot offers stunning views over Birmingham and the surrounding countryside. The hill derives its name from the abundant tracts of Bilberry bushes (Vaccinium myrtillus) that occupy its slopes, providing locals with a tradition of harvesting their fruit each autumn for centuries to make jams, preserves, and delightful apple and bilberry pies.

You are standing in front of Jubilee Plantation. This very distinctive hill top feature was planted in the mid seventies to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and to reflect the locally famous Frankley Beeches plantation on Frankley Hill. Most of the trees in the centre of the wood are common Beech. The Beech can be a spectacular tree in its prime with a crown which might span 30 metres (32 yards) more and a trunk which could be as much as 4-5 metres (12 - 15 feet) in circumference. There are few better things in the spring than standing in a beechwood and looking up into a canopy of fresh green leaves. By May most leaves will have opened fully. When a breeze catches them they seem to shiver and tremble. Beech trees are not as good for wildlife as say a mature Oak might be but they do produce large numbers of seeds or 'mast' each autumn. These seeds are of vital importance, not only as the means by which the tree spreads its offspring but also as a food source to preying flocks of finches during the cold winter months.
