Golf:
The Lickey Hills Golf course was the first ever municipal course in England, it is known for being challanging even more so when breezy. The jurrassic underlations on the second half of the course helps you to appreciate the landscape in Tolkiens time here, and helps you see where some of his inspiration for middle earth came form. The rates are very reasonalble although booking is essential, there is a golf shop and a small cafe which is located near the duck ponds.
