From the Wikipedia article
Bills Wood is a local nature reserve and park located in Shirley, Solihull. It covers an area of approximately 6.6 hectares (16 acres) and consists of a square parcel of woodland surrounded by residential suburbs. To the east the wood is bounded by the school playing fields of Light Hall School. A wide range of plants and animals makes the wood an important urban space, and was therefore granted local nature reserve status in 1991.
