Adams Hill - Clent Adams Hill is situated at the foot of the Clent Hills. This side of Clent is the 'Tourist' side where visitors can stop at one of the pubs or restaurants.  The photo has been taken looking south to the 'Hill Tavern' and village.  The road still has evidence of the past in the form of an old gas lantern street light (unfortunately not in working condition) that can be found towards the top of the road just below the Four Stones restaurant.
