The Woods in Spring­İLickey RangersIntroduction

The Lickey Hills Country Park lies 11 miles south west of Birmingham city centre and covers an area of 524 acres. The hills are covered by a mosaic of mixed deciduous woodland, conifer plantations and heathland, all are rich in a variety of wildlife.

Included within the park boundary is an eighteen hole Golf course, bowls, tennis and putting green as well as a purpose built wheelchair pathway and viewing platform allowing easy access to panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

The Visitor Centre provides a focal point for nature conservation activities within the park. Exhibition, leaflets and information on nature trails, guided walks and other activities organised by the Ranger Service are available in the centre.

Visitors can also enjoy light snacks and refreshments in the tea room whilst children can explore the large adventure playground.
