Clent Hills

The Clent Hills lie 15 km southwest of Birmingham City Centre in Worcestershire, England. They rise to a height of 315 m, with views over Malvern, Kinver Edge, Wenlock Edge and the Black Mountains of Wales, and encompass 177 ha of woodland and heathland. Clent appears in the Domesday Book as "Klinter", and may be derived from the old Scandinavian word klint for a cliff. Once part of a Mercian forest, the hills contain evidence of an Iron Age fort on Wychbury Hill and a battle between ancient Britons and Romans fought on Clent Heath. Most of the hills are now the property of the National Trust.

The hills are graced with several classically-inspired architectural works from the late 1700s. Lord Lyttleton of Hagley Hall constructed an obelisk on Wychbury Hill in 1758, still readily visible. He also had constructed a Temple of Theseus, and a folly known as 'The Four Stones' atop Walton’s Hill. Some suggest that Lyttleton raised the Four Stones to annoy the Earl of Dudley, who had boasted that from his estate, Himley Hall, he could see no man-made structures.

The Clent Hills are also well-known for their role in the legend of St. Kenelm, who was murdered on a hunting trip nearby in 821 AD.
