About

The Lickey Hills ward lies within the Bromsgrove district, encompassing a significant portion of the Lickey Hills Country Park. This large area of woodland and heathland is a defining feature, offering extensive public footpaths and open spaces. The residential settlements are primarily villages and suburbs, such as Cofton Hackett and parts of Barnt Green, characterised by housing set within a green, semi-rural landscape.

This landscape supports a mix of habitats, including ancient woodland and acidic heath, which are managed for both conservation and public recreation by the local authority.
