Blakedown Worcestershire Map

About Blakedown

Blakedown, a Worcestershire village, rests within the gentle embrace of the Wyre Forest district. It lies 5.1 km east-north-east of Kidderminster (from Kidderminster: bearing 70°T, OS grid SO 879 784), and is situated south of Churchill village. The lanes here, often canopied by ancient trees, hold a quiet stillness, broken only by the distant hum of traffic on the A456, a reminder of the wider world. The land around Blakedown rolls with a subtle grace, its fields often patterned by the neat lines of agricultural work, catching the low afternoon sun in stripes of gold. Evidence of its past agricultural roots can still be discerned in the shape of the landscape, where hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, mark out old boundaries. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and, on a still day, the faint, sweet perfume of distant woodland.
