Visited today to see Santa, and also make use of the fantastic outdoor facilities. The boys had the best fun, there is so much to do and a lovely little cafe where we enjoyed a cuppa on the balcony while we watched the play. Santa was absolutely amazing, took so long chatting to the boys and they truly loved meeting him. We will definitely be back again and only wish we had discovered it sooner!

Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust

See the network of underground canal routes that helped form the industrial Black Country and marvel at the fantastic Limestone Caverns. Enjoy a canalside walk or relaxing boat trip, and admire the local history. See if you can spot any of the limestone fossils remaining from when the area was below sea, and explore the Dudley Tunnel - don't be startled by the bats!

I have Covid-19 lockdown to thank for visiting this hidden gem! Driven past hundreds of times on my way to Merry Hill and never thought to stop and take a look. With the past few weeks being spent exploring on foot what is in my local area, I venture along the canal from Netherton up to the reservoir and into Saltwells Nature Reserve and was absolutely awestruck at how beautiful it is! Lots of paths to explore, metal sculptures to happen upon, a glorious carpet of bluebells in Spring and wildlife to spot. Quite wonderful!

Brockswood Animal Sanctuary

Reviewed By Shaddix13 - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom

Took my 13 month old here today. For £3.50 you cannot beat the price for a good couple of hours out. You can make a donation as well, but we will also be back many times. The posters explaining each animals circumstances were good to read and all seemed to be cared for. It’s a shame that this place doesn’t get any funding and needs to be supported for the work it’s doing. Nice little picnic/play area at the end of the walk. 100% returning in the future
