Barr Beacon is a hill on the edge of Walsall, West Midlands, England, very near the border with Birmingham.

It is historically the site of a beacon where fires were lit in times of impending attack or on celebratory occasions.

[2] Colonel J. H. Wilkinson of the Staffordshire Volunteer Infantry Brigade responded by purchasing it, then transferring it to a trust.

[citation needed] As one of the highest points in the West Midlands county, Barr Beacon has panoramic views.

[5] On one summit is Barr Beacon Reservoir, a South Staffordshire Waterworks Company covered drinking water reservoir with radio masts and on the other a war memorial consisting of a raised dais, covered by a copper-clad wooden[6] dome supported by eight columns.
