Dist:0.3km<br/>It isn't a big bird of prey centre but the people are very friendly and they have lots of their own birds and injured ones they will eventually release back into the wild. Well worth a visit!!!

Dist:0.5km<br/>Between Kidderminster and the Clent Hills there are several villages which, although surrounded by agricultural land, were for about 350 years involved in a thriving ironworking industry. The numerous small streams flowing down from the Clent Hills were dammed to form millponds. Many of the mills were used to grind corn, as you would expect, but a substantial number powered small ironworks instead, where agricultural tools were made. Scythes were a speciality and were exported all over the world. It was only in the late 1940s that this thriving rural industry began to die out. All but one of the mills is now disused, but the former millponds have become important wildlife sites. There are still 30 pools in and around Blakedown and they greatly enhance the local landscape, which even without them would be very pleasant. Brake Mill at Stakenbridge is one of the old mills now converted to residential use.
