Cofton Hackett sits right on the southern edge of Birmingham’s urban sprawl, where the city finally gives way to the rolling landscape of north Worcestershire. It is defined largely by its relationship with the Lickey Hills Country Park, which borders the village and provides a high, wooded skyline that creates a sense of separation from the nearby industrial heritage of Longbridge. Historically, the area was tied to the 18th-century Cofton Hall and the estate of the Earls of Plymouth, though today it feels more like a quiet residential pocket bridging the gap between Barnt Green and the city. The village heartbeat remains around the ancient church of St Michael and All Angels, tucked away down a narrow lane, and the expansive Cofton Park, which offers a vast open green space between the housing and the former Austin motor works. Geographically, it’s a practical location; you have the M5 and M42 corridors nearby and the cross-city rail line at Longbridge station, yet once you are back in the village lanes, the noise of the city feels surprisingly distant.
