    Standing Stones
    The 19th-century `mock' stone circle on the Clent Hills
    Originally a feature of the Hagley Hall Estate owned by Lord Cobham, this 18th century folly offers tremendous airy views over the Severn Valley and towards Birmingham. An all-ability path climbs up from Nimmings Wood car park to a viewing platform near the stones. SO934803
    Robbo's Pool
    This area of Clent Hills was cleared, restored and resculptured in 2005. It is now a lovely picnic area in summer. SO927805
    Walton Hill
    View over Clent Hills
    A little off the beaten track, this is a more tranquil area of the hills where you can find peace and quiet or get closer to nature at the wildlife hide; its position is marked on the Clent Hills walks leaflet. Walton Hill is an important area for breeding birds and rare insects. SO944795
    Horse's Mane
    This lovely mature beech woodland is an iconic local landmark. Standing on the slopes of a hill ridge, the Horse's Mane is visible from miles around. It is a fantastic example of a beech hanger and a great place to see or hear birds like nuthatch or woodpecker. SO938807
