WHERE THE FECK IS FECKENHAM?
Feckenham
is
a
tiny,
picturesque
village
consisting
of
just
under
two
hundred
houses,
two
pubs,
two
churches,
one
garage
and
one
FeckenOdeon.
We're
on
the
B4090
between
Hanbury
and
Cookhill.
If
you
have
a
map
to
hand
look
for
Redditch
-
you'll
find
us
about
three
miles
to
the
south-west.
Once
you're
in
the
village
the
FeckenOdeon
is
simple
to
locate
-
we're
handily
positioned
on
the
High
Street
about
half
way
between
the
Rose
&
Crown
and
The
Forest
at
Feckenham
(formerly
The
Lygon
Arms).
Not
a
lot!
-
which
is
just
the
way
we
like
it!
Having
said
that
it's
quite
a
lively
place
with
a
a
busy
social
calendar.
The
Square
is
actually
the
village
green
and
a
happy
half
hour
can
be
spent
just
meandering
around
in
the
chocolate
box
prettiness
of
it
all.
There
are
lots
of
well
marked
public
footpaths
if
you
want
a
more
extensive
ramble
-
there's
a
(slightly
faded)
map
in
the
village
hall
car park to get you started.
