Waseley Hills Country Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waseley Hills Country Park is 150 acres (0.61 km²) of rolling open hills with old hedgerows, pastures and small pockets of woodland with panoramic views, set in Worcestershire, England.
It is located off Junction 4 of the M5 Motorway.
It is not a large park. It is mainly used by hikers and people just using it as a base to go wandering off in the countryside. It is popular with dog owners.
The park is the rising point of the River Rea.
The park is considered a good place to just park the car and go for a walk. You are just far enough outside Birmingham to appreciate the countryside and it provides an alternative to Lickey Hills if you are seeking something different and don't wish to travel too far.
The park has the following amenities:
- Café and visitors centre open daily
- Adventure play area
- Waymarked circular walks Badger Trail ½ mile and Fox Trail 3 miles (4.8 km)
- Orienteering course
- Toilets with disabled facilities
- Meeting room for hire
- Free admission
- Car parking (£1.00 for all day)
- Open all year 8.00 am - dusk
The park is run by Worcestershire County Council and there are purpose built meeting and training rooms located on it.
Recently the Waseley Hills has acted as base for the Team Kermito Mountain Boarding team.
