Turners Hill (sometimes written Turner's Hill) is the highest hill in the West Midlands conurbation of England. It is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell and rises to 269 m above sea level.
The hill is situated on the border of Dudley and Rowley Regis, in a surprisingly rural part of the predominantly industrial Black Country.
On top of the hill are two large radio transmitter masts which can be seen for many miles, and there is also a large working quarry on the southern end of the hill, near the masts.
The hill can be seen from many miles away, and offers good views to Clent Hills, Kinver Edge, Shatterford Hill and on a clear day to the Shropshire Hills and the Malvern Hills. Good views of the hill can be seen from the M5 Motorway between Junctions 1 and 2. Dudley Golf Course is on the hill.
The hill is also an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest).
