Sandwell Valley Country Park

The main entrances to the site are at Sandwell Park Farm, Salter's Lane, West Bromwich, B71 4BG.

[1] Leisure facilities include a pitch & putt golf course, a Millennium Cycle Route, a Mountain Bike Trail, tennis courts and open spaces.

[3] Priory Woods and Forge Mill Lake, both local nature reserves (LNRs) since 1991, are within the park.

It has woodland, with many varieties of native trees and introduced species; pools, inhabited by wildfowl; and it contains the ruins of Sandwell Priory.

The monastery was closed on the orders of Cardinal Wolsey in 1525, and by 1705 the land was redeveloped once more, into Sandwell Hall, built for the Earl of Dartmouth.
