About

Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green and Hockley Heath lie in the southern part of Solihull borough, linked by lanes and public footpaths and framed by belts of farmland and woodland. Dickens Heath was developed as a planned village with a compact centre of shops, a primary school, community facilities and a sequence of small ponds and green spaces around a village square. Cheswick Green is a small parish with a village hall, playing fields and allotments that anchor local activity; clubs and parish meetings shape much of its day-to-day life. Hockley Heath is the oldest of the three, sitting on the old route between Solihull and Stratford-upon-Avon; its High Street retains older houses and local pubs alongside newer housing.

All three share a network of footpaths, bus links into Solihull and local primary schools, with sports pitches, scout groups and allotments common across the area. Local shops and convenience services cluster at Dickens Heath and Hockley Heath while quieter residential streets and sheltered green spaces extend around Cheswick Green. For anyone exploring the borough, this trio offers a mix of planned village centre, active parish life and a historic roadside village, all within a short drive of Solihull town centre.
