I have a few issues with this. Firstly the Lickey Ridge is much larger than anything which can be called the Lickey Hills. The ridge runs right down almost to Bromsgrove, miles from anywhere that might be called the Lickey Hills. For this reason I would argue that 'Lickey Hills' actually *is* the country park, nothing more (that certainly is the only way I have ever heard it used), and the geological information should be in the arcticle about the ridge.
Your edits seem to imply there is a non-descript general area called the Lickey Hills, I am not sure what this refers to beyond the Lickey Hills Country Park.
In either case I have a lot of material about the history of the country park (and the golf club) as a place where the people of Birmingham went on days out, as well as details about the Lickey Beacon (which is with the hills) and the Earl of Plymouths obelisk (which is also within the Hills country park).
I intend to flesh out the article about the Lickey Hills Country park with some scans of picture postcards and a few details about the tea rooms, the Cadbury connection etc.
My second issue, which again is one of article naming disambiguation, is that the Lickey Incline is NOT within the Lickey Hills, it runs down the ridge from Blackwell to Bromsgrove- it is located at least 2 miles from the Lickey Hills. This is factual inaccuracy in the article you can check on the map or by having a drive down there.
The problem is that 'the lickey incline runs through the hills' does not reflect reality. Better to have an expanded article about the incline in my view, and link to it from the Hills article. Then have one overarching article about the ridge discussing the geology.

You will then both know that the Lickey Incline passes one and a half miles away from any part of the Lickey Hills (ill-defined-geographic area). Therefore whoever keeps reverting 'runs through' should cease as this is false. Leonig Mig 11:44, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've just added a photo to the page, can someone in the know get rid of the awful black boundary around it, it looks awful. Thanks! Cls 23:48, 1st August 2006
The article gives the impression that the mock "castle" that houses the toposcope was built in 1988 - That cannot be right, I remember playing on it as a child in the early 1960s. I've been back to look at it today and a plaque in front of the "castle" indicates it was built in 1907 to comemorate the land being donated by Cadbury. Maybe the Toposcope was resited within the "castle" in 1988 but the building itself is certainly much older. - John Dell — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.163.102 ( talk) 19:50, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Quite agree! - this website gives photos of the castle and the plaque! - http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM6NVB_Beacon_Hill_Toposcope — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.80.249 ( talk) 13:56, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
