Barr Beacon is part of the Forest of Mercia which used to be known as Beacon Regional Park, a name given to it as a place where beacon fires were once lit. It is situated on the B1452 near Walsall and Aldridge and provides excellent panoramic views of the local landscape.
A well known local landmark of 227 metres in height it is popular with dog walkers, kite flyers and model aircraft enthusiasts. There are no facilities but there is ample parking and a pagoda sitting all on its own near the exit. This is a popular place in the summer although it has a bad reputation at night being a local lovers lane or venue for other more dubious adult activities. Best avoided from dusk onwards.
