Small. Lovely trees Great views. A bit of a mess from dirt bike riders. Car pull on opposite.

Nice view of Birmingham but the place was totally overrun by an ignorant group of chavs riding quads and motorbikes, including their feral children. The air was thick with exhaust and the deafening noise of the engines. The lay-by where you can park is on the other side of the road, which necessitates a mad scramble across the blind summit of a 50 mph B-road. There was a lovely, if small, canopy of mature trees there, but we were honestly too occupied with calculating the trajectories of the various off-road vehicles to appreciate it.

The viewpoint of Birmingham, which thankfully is on the same side of the road as the parking, was nonetheless located down a completely overgrown embankment littered with beer cans and broken glass. There was a "no fly tipping" sign, but in grim irony a mattress had been leant against it and amongst the rows of nettles there were the contents of several small houses. There was, bizarrely, an old gravestone here, presumably from prettier times when Frankley Beeches did not resemble a low-budget Mad Max sequel.

Drive past in the car but don't stop.

One of the most spectacular natural viewing spots within Birmingham's surroundings. Well worth a walk or pull in to go to. Unfortunately the layby can be ruined by rubbish left by cars.

Lovely quite place to go and grab sometime to yourself or read a book on a sunny day.
Beautiful views of Birmingham.
Belongs to the Cadbury family.
Nice fields to detect on if you get the permission aswell.

The beeches are attractive & enjoyable. However the real pleasure is the views. On one side Birmingham & on the other beautiful views. There's a layby to park & enjoy the panoramic views

Make no mistake we wont be returning here. Rubbish everywhere and a haven for fly tippers. Put our rubbish in the bin only to find a live rat scurrying around 😳😳What a wasted journey.
