Rednal Hill

Rednal Hill was presented to the City of Birmingham in 1888 by the Birmingham Association for the Preservation of Open Spaces. Together with land donated by the Cadbury family it forms the Lickey Hills Country Park.

Toposcope, Beacon Hill

The toposcope on Beacon Hill (298m) was constructed in 1923 after Beacon Hill was donated to the City of Birmingham by the Cadbury family. The toposcope was restored in 1988. From this viewpoint on a good day 13 old counties can be seen. Going east from the summit there is no higher land at the same latitude until you reach the Ural Mountains in Russia (I've checked this using Google Earth).

Birmingham Road, Lydiate Ash

This road was formerly the A38 - however this section has been bypassed as the A38 now runs via junction 4 of the M5, several hundred metres west. Birmingham, Road is now little more than a quiet country lane, albeit a very wide, straight and well surfaced one.
