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

Standing at 315 m Walton Hill is the highest point in the Clent Hills. It's a great view point and a good target for a running loop here.

The Four Stones were erected by Lord Lyttelton of Hagley Hall in the 18th century. Brilliant views over nearby Walton Hill and further towards the Cotswolds, Shropshire Hills and the Welsh Borders.

The Four Stones is a striking monument at the top of the Clent Hills. While they look prehistoric, they were erected around 1763 at the behest of an eccentric landowner. Nevertheless, the characterful stones are supposedly aligned with the solstice sunset and offer a magnificent view at all times of the year.
