Sandwell park

“I recently explored Sandwell Valley Country Park in West Bromwich, and it is a massive, 660-acre green oasis that offers much more than your typical urban park. The experience is anchored by two distinct farms: the historic Sandwell Park Farm, with its restored Victorian walled gardens and rare breed animals, and the more interactive Forge Mill Farm, where kids can get hands-on with farming life. Beyond the farmyards, the park is a paradise for activity, featuring a sprawling adventure playground, a high ropes course, and the popular Miner’s Trail for mountain biking. Whether you’re birdwatching at the RSPB nature reserve, walking the scenic trails around Forge Mill Lake, or enjoying a local treat at the Courtyard Kitchen, it’s a versatile, budget-friendly destination that perfectly balances Black Country heritage with diverse outdoor fun.”

“Sandwell Park is a fantastic place for a day out. The playground is well-maintained and perfect for kids of all ages. The toilets were clean and easy to find. It’s very dog-friendly, with lots of open spaces for pets to run around. The picnic area is lovely, offering plenty of shaded spots for families to relax. Highly recommend visiting! Overall experience: A beautiful, well-maintained park that caters to everyone – families, pet owners, and nature lovers. Highly recommended for a fun and relaxing day out!”

“Very nice park, close to Birmingham. There is chargeable parking on site. The park is very big with lots of places to walk.Priory woods located on the east side of M5 was a pleasant surprise and very beautiful, with many trails to explore . It's a very pleasant location with many options to walk or exercise. Will definitely visit again.”

“I think this is the same as Sandwell Valley park or part of it. We had a walk from one my aunt and uncles house and the park was quite busy as there was an event going on and weather was decent. Kids loved it anyway and it’s a good walk around the park.”
