More about this scene
The Lickey Hills were declared a royal hunting forest in the 11th century, but they were sold by the Crown to the Earl of Plymouth in 1682. They were acquired by Birmingham Corporation through purchase and donation between the 1880s and the 1920s, and opened to the public. The Lickeys attract 500,000 visitors a year, some of whom climb Beacon Hill (975ft) to enjoy a view said to encompass 10 counties.
