The Clent Hills are nice too, I've been a few times. And I found a back way into the Lickeys that I can reach 10 minutes from my house, so that's been a nice escape.

Lot of history in the West Mids, not of the big house where a Duke lived but that kind of industrial/ social history. I'm in a very select group of people who finds the needle museum in Redditch fascinating!
The old Colney Hatch Mental Asylum ..........sadly now redeveloped
The Moor between St Albans and Wheathampstead known as No Mans Land where sits the Pub called The Wicked Lady .
The story of the Wicked Lady was immortalised for screen in the 40s with Barbara Stanwyck in the eponymous role ; A young and lively ,vivacious young beauty wed to a boring elderly local Lord of the Manor.For kicks she used to dress as a Highwayman ,creep out of the house at night and hold up Coaches coming across the said Moor before returning home with her safe secret . She was shot with a Blunderbus by a Coachman during an unsuccessful hold up but made it home to bed .
They followed her trail of blood and discovered her injured in her chamber .I think she was nursed back to health and then tried and Hung from Tyburn Gallows .
They say she still rides the Moor on a full moon - I've never gone to find out as there could be werewolves about .
Fascinated me as a kid
