Waseley Hills Country Park, Country park in Worcestershire, England
Waseley Hills Country Park is a country park in Worcestershire, England, made up of open hills, pastures, hedgerows, and patches of woodland. The land sits on a high ridge and looks out over the surrounding countryside in several directions.
In 1970 the Worgan charitable trust handed over this hill land to local councils, turning private farmland into a public recreational space. The park has remained open and managed for visitors ever since.
The name comes from Old English and may refer to a sheep pasture or lookout point along the northern edge of the Anglo-Saxon Hwicce kingdom. Such historical names reflect how the land has been used by people for many centuries.
A cafe inside a restored threshing barn serves food and drinks throughout the day and makes a good starting point for a walk. Parking is available on site, and the paths across the hills are easy to follow on foot.
The park sits at the point where two river valleys divide, and the River Rea begins its course here. Two separate water systems split apart at this single spot on the ridge.
