Kingsford National Trust Worcestershire, England, U.K. is owned and managed by National Trust ‘Kinver Edge and The Rock Houses’ under the NT Shropshire portfolio, it is the southern half of the Kinver Edge escarpment. The historically open heathland area was traditionally known as Blakeshall Common.

Transfer to the National Trust
In 2014 the Worcestershire Council Cabinet approved a report proposing the transfer of the freehold of Kingsford Forest Park to the National Trust. In November 2014 the council's Overview and Scrutiny Performance Board accepted the report, noting that it could be implemented immediately without being considered again by Cabinet or the full Council, and that the Council did not have a duty to consult with the public on such transfers or the potential introduction of car park charges by another organisation. In September 2015 it was reported that the deal was still to be finalised. , 'Kingsford Forest Park' signs at the entrances in Kingsford Lane and Blakeshall Lane have been removed and replaced by 'National Trust Kinver Edge' signs. In April 2019 the National Trust announced plans to fence off large parts of the Country Park and to cut down trees on Blakeshall Common in order to turn it into a traditional lowland heath. ==References/External Links==
