View from Bilberry Hill towards Beacon Hill

Bilberry Hill is in the Lickey Hills Country Park. Together with its neighbours the hill is composed of Lickey Quartzite, one of the oldest rocks in the region. The Lickey Hills include some of the largest areas of bilberry and heather in the county. The hill in the distance is Beacon Hill. The open area in between is a golf course.

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).
