Definitely a family favourite of ours for many generations! There’s no better place to go for walks in the area , Himley is honestly fantastic. I’ve grown up walking around Himley , yet they still never fail to surprise us. You always manage to find a new and exciting walking path , every time you go! The lake is amazing for boating , fishing .. you name it! I learnt how to ride a bike on the long concrete path , it’s fantastic for anyone with roller skates , scooters , bicycles! It’s amazing for your pups too , especially if you go on an evening walk! The house is absolutely stunning , inside and out. The food served is also delicious , and the waiters are very kind , returning my sister’s £20 note to her , when she dropped it and didn’t realise. Honestly , Himley is just great , if you have the opportunity to visit , go! We are so beyond lucky to have it on our doorstep! Also , Make sure to check it out on bonfire night , the fireworks are outstanding! We love you , Himley❤️

Dudley Zoo and Castle

DZG is unique… a home to more than 1300 animals, and has nigh on 200 species, including some of the rarest creatures on Planet Earth. Hundreds of exotic and endangered animals inhabit an ancient wooded hillside, with a rich geological history, around the ruins of the 11th century Dudley Castle and share a site with the world’s largest single collection of Modernist Tecton structures – and the country’s only vintage chairlift!

Lovely day out to see the animals. Animal enclosures well kept and lots of improvement/investment since our last visit a few years ago. Only suggestion would be to add notes to enclosures with the animals names/ages, when they arrived, where they came from etc, I personally find that interesting. Well managed social distancing measures with one way system, hand sanitisers and patient visitors. Felt busy at the start but people naturally spread out the further though you get. Although some areas closed, still so much to see and do it didn't impact the day.
