The Black Country is an area of the West Midlands covering most of the Metropolitan Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. The name dates from the 1840s, and is believed to come from the soot that the heavy industries covered the area in. Wychbury Hill is part of the Clent Hills, it lies on the border of West Midlands and Worcestershire. Its highest point is 224 m (735 ft) above sea level.
