Kingsford Country Park

Kingsford Country Park is a woodland area near Kidderminster featuring sandstone cliffs, pine forests, broadleaf trees, and heath sections. The park is accessible via two main parking areas on Kingsford Lane and Blakeshall Lane.

Cave dwellings carved into sandstone cliffs provided homes for local residents before the 1770s, showing how people used the landscape for shelter. The Drakelow Tunnel Complex was built underground during World War II for strategic purposes.

The four walking trails are named after local bird species - Robin, Coal Tit, Nuthatch, and Woodpecker - reflecting the variety of birds that inhabit these woods. The names help visitors connect the landscape with the wildlife they may encounter while exploring.

The park is best explored on foot, with two parking areas offering convenient starting points for your visit. The marked trails vary in length and difficulty, allowing you to choose a route that suits your pace and time.

Hidden beneath the park lies the Drakelow Tunnel Complex, constructed during World War II for strategic military purposes. The name comes from Old English words meaning Dragon Mound, blending history with the underground structure.
