Bentley Heath

Bentley Heath is to the north of the M40 and east of the M42 which, along with a small but important green belt area, separates the village and its larger neighbours of Dorridge and Knowle from the Birmingham conurbation.

The village shares the B93 postcode with its larger contiguous neighbours Dorridge and Knowle.

There is a beauty salon, a hair salon, a cafe and an Indian restaurant, plus a florists in the village centre and an Edward VII pillar box situated under a large oak tree next to the bus stop.

The only Public House in Bentley Heath is The Drum & Monkey which is owned by the Chef & Brewer chain.

No one landlord owned the land of Bentley Heath as the estate was split up in 1738; in the mid-19th century the main landowners were Thomas Haydon, Lady Noel Byron and Ann Musgrove.
