Bumble Hole Local Nature Reserve

Bumble Hole Local Nature Reserve is situated in the Netherton area of Dudley Metropolitan Borough in the county of West Midlands, England.

[1] The area comprising the Bumble Hole Local Nature Reserve and its neighbour, Warren's Hall Local Nature Reserve, once was a scene of industry, including coal mining, clay extraction, coke furnaces and boat building.

The reserve is located to the east of Netherton, about 1.5 miles south of Dudley, on the border with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough.

Bumble Hole Lake, a former clay pit, forms the largest body of water in the reserve.

A canal-side visitor centre run by volunteers (the Bumble Hole Conservation Group),[4] offers information on the reserve, as well as refreshments and toilet facilities.
