Hockley Heath is a pleasant village in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, England, sitting on a busy historic crossroads on the A34 between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon. Historically part of Warwickshire and now within the West Midlands, it has a compact centre of period houses, old coaching‑inns and a village green that give it a distinctly rural feel despite good road links.
The local economy is a mix of small shops, pubs and services serving the village and surrounding farmland, alongside many residents who commute into nearby towns and cities via the M40 and regional roads. There’s an active community life - village hall events, sports clubs and conservation efforts to protect its historic character and surrounding green belt make it popular with families seeking a semi‑rural base close to urban centres.
