The Lickey Hills Country Park boasts
one of the largest tracts of heath land in Worcestershire and is formed
from some of the oldest rock in Britain.
The 524 acres of the Lickey Hills supports a wide range of habitat types and a variety of flora and fauna. The highest point is Beacon Hill at 975 feet and an 18 hole golf course, which is open to visitors, straddles the mid England watershed between the River Severn and River Trent. |
For
16 miles, the Severn Valley Railway follows Britain's longest river, linking
gentle countryside and historic towns which are steeped in the relics of our
industrial past. From the new Victorian style station at Kidderminster the
programme journeys North, using the line's steam locomotives, including the
Great Marquess, a K4 class loco. Along the way the visitor can see traditional
crafts, such as carpet, rope and clay pipe making. There are also superb
stations and viaducts, as well as the ferry at Hampton Loade, a waterwheel at
Daniel's Mill and the picturesque River Seven itself. At journey's end in
Bridgenorth, there is a tour of the ancient town and a chance to see the
Midland Motor Museum, before going on to the world famous heritage site at
Ironbridge.
