Belbroughton

Belbroughton is a village in Worcestershire, England, situated in the northern foothills of the Clent Hills approximately eight miles south of Birmingham. The village has a medieval church of Holy Trinity and a number of historic buildings reflecting its past as a centre of the scythe-making industry, which was important in the area from the 17th to the early 20th century. It lies within the Green Belt surrounding Birmingham and the wider West Midlands conurbation and has retained a predominantly rural and residential character. The Clent Hills, managed by the National Trust, provide walking and recreational access nearby.
