The Four Stones

The Four Stones on the summit of Clent Hill may look a little mysterious, but they were actually created in the 18th century for Lord Lyttleton as a folly to be viewed from down in the valley by visitors.

Bicknall Beacon

‘Bicknall’ Beacon on Clent Hill was such a good viewpoint that in 1588 it was used as part of a chain of bonfires which sent warning of the Spanish Armada into the Midlands.

The Yellowhammer

The colourful yellowhammer can be found in and around the woodland and scrubby hillsides here. They have an interesting high-pitched song which is said to sound a bit like “a-little-bit-of-bread-and-no-cheese”!
