Lickey Hills ward sits on the western edge of Bromsgrove in north Worcestershire, centred on the well‑wooded slopes and open ridges of the famous Lickey Hills and taking in parts of Lickey Hills Country Park. The area is valued for its scenic walks, panoramic views across the Severn valley towards Birmingham and a mix of heathland and ancient woodland that attracts families, dog‑walkers and cyclists from the surrounding towns.
Locally the ward feels suburban and residential, with a range of housing, small shops and schools and a strong commuter link into nearby centres. There’s a quiet historic thread - Victorian recreational use and small‑scale quarrying have shaped paths and viewpoints - and an active community interest in conservation and maintaining the green, semi‑rural character of the neighbourhood.
