    It was ok. Good parking and it's free which is nice. The view is amazing and there is plenty of open space for little ones to run around. There's a nice little walk through the woods, it runs alongside a road and golf course though, so it's not quiet or good to see nature. If people could take their litter home it would make it slightly better. The biggest down side was the number of dogs off lead. Shouldn't be allowed and ruins it for people with small kids or dogs that don't like having another 'playful' dog in its face! We left after 20 minutes because there were dozens of dogs off the lead.

    A great viewpoint that looks over the Birmingham skyline. Convenient parking (be aware it gets locked up at dusk) and loads of benches - very tranquil watching the sun slip away and the lights of the city coming to life. Grab a hot drink, some good company and be at one with your true self ❤️

    Rode to the hilltop with my son's. we started at HANDSWORTH park. Was our first time so was looking forward to seeing the place and wasn't disappointed. Family friendly atmosphere. Great place for family get-together'picnics- etc'etc.

    Nice big car park. The only problem is too many bumps in it and some are big too. You get some great views of the city. Great walk round. There is a cafe at the bottom were the golf course starts.

    If ypu want to get away from busy life, everyone seemingly rushing from one place to the next, if you want to escape the concrete jungle even for 10 minutes then Beacon Hill is the place to go to. On a clear day the views are stunning and if you puck a night where the skies are clear, the skies are pink or there's a full moon you won't be disappointed. Its definitely one of my favourite escapes locally

    It was good experience. Nice morning walk just me and my thoughts 💭. I would recommend do this exercise least once a week. Great opportunity to take your dog for walk too.

    Great place to spend time outdoors. You can have a picnic with family, there are benches to sit too. Car park is large and can take vans too (no height barriers). The whole area is covered with grass. You have very nice panoramic view on Birmingham and surrounding areas. You can walk your dog, play football while enjoying the sun.

    Lovely open space, free parking and lovely woodlands and a great walk and benches everywhere to relax and plenty of grass areas for picnics, just be aware of the loose dogs but overall lovely walk and scenic as well.

  • 4/5 Jason C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for walks, open spaces for the dog. There are paths through the woods, walking or for the mountain bikers out there. Sufficient parking. And sometimes the ice cream van sits up there.

  • 5/5 Josh A. 1 year ago on Google
    A great historical piece atop the hill, you can see the city centre from the top surrounded by amazing woods and pathways to walk. and on clear days you can see for miles very peaceful.

  • 5/5 sidharth shankar s. 1 year ago on Google
    one of the best places to visit near Birmingham.

  • 5/5 Barry H. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb place to visit, plenty of benches placed around to view the stunning vista's (weather permitting). There is a huge free car park here which is a little bumpy so be careful. Plenty of room to walk around but look out for dog mess as many owners just let the dogs roam free.

  • 5/5 High M. 2 years ago on Google
    The car park is free but is bumpy and muddy so take your time. Short walk upto the viewpoint from there but you can go walking for a few miles if thats your thing. The views are actually very good on a clear day and the viewpoint/toposcope thing which is shaped a bit like a castle so kids love it. Not the quietest place, lots of people also visiting.

    A beautiful gem just on the outskirts of Birmingham. The time we went was perfect as it wasn’t busy. We caught the perfect sunset and had a beautiful picnic. The park was fairly clean and litter free.

  • 5/5 Rawan A. 2 years ago on Google
    The sunset view from here is everything 😍

  • 5/5 Riaz K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice day. Nice open spaces and plenty of shade in and amongst the trees too. Will be back again soon with family for sure. Not a fan of the very stoney car park though but ample parking space. The Toposcope was cool too

  • 4/5 Ben H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great views from the top of the hill. Good place to take dogs. Walk are OK not the longest trails but still decent. Car park is terrible though full of huge potholes
