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.

A great place to visit and wide veiws

A great cafe, good selection, they don't allow dog inside but have a bell for service

As you walk along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, you'll be treated to magnificent views that encompass the reservoir, charming narrow boats, and the picturesque countryside that surrounds you.

Upper Bittell Reservoir covers approximately 40 acres and is the larger of the two Bittell Reservoirs. The reservoir was created in the late 19th century to provide drinking water to the city of Birmingham. It was constructed by damming the Bittell Brook. It is an excellent place for hiking and picnicking, with designated picnic areas where visitors can enjoy a meal while taking in the serene waterside atmosphere.

A designated space crafted specifically for individuals to hone their den-building skills using the readily available logs and branches—a brilliant concept that offers a dedicated area for this creative activity. It's an ideal playground where children can delight in hours of imaginative play.

Bilberry Hill and the surrounding Lickey Hills offer a peaceful escape into nature and a chance to enjoy the outdoors, whether you're interested in hiking, picnicking, or simply taking in the scenic views of the West Midlands countryside.

The Lickey Hills visitor centre includes an information centre, toilets, café and shop. It's a good place to start or finish a run with a coffee on the terrace.

Nice section of canal. we'll worth a trundle along.

Lickey Hills Visitor Centre has a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating that serves snacks. You can also find information here and pick up maps to explore the country park. There are facilities, too.
