Lickey Hills Country Park is a country park in England. It is 10.3 miles (16.5 kilometres) south west of Birmingham and 24 miles (38.5 kilometres) north east of Worcester.
The 524 acres (212 ha) park is situated just south of Rednal and close to Barnt Green.
The first evidence of people settling in the Lickey Hills date back to the stone age when a Neolithic hunter lost a flint arrow head on Rednal Hill. The arrow head is leaf-shaped and made of flint and is certainly over 4,000 years old.
The forests mainly consist of mature spruce and pine trees although there is also a wide ranging mosaic of deciduous trees on the lower slopes. Bilberry Hill is named after the extensive bilberry bushes that bear fruit in the early to mid autumn.
There are over 380 different types of flowering plants within the park, including 17 types of ferns and 30 types of mosses.
There are a range of woodland species including insects such as beetles, centipedes and slugs. Together with flies, bees and butterflies, they provide the staple diet for the larger wildlife within the hills.
There are several deer species and badgers living in the park, together with a wide range of water fowl on the lake including Canada geese, mallards, coot, moorhen and swans. In spring, there are notable displays of bluebells.
