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!

Covering 26 acres of former industrial land, Black Country Living Museum is uniquely placed to tell the story of the creation of the world’s first industrial landscape.

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!

Priory Park in Dudley takes its name from the Old Priory of St James's. The ruins are from the Cluniac Priory and are the picturesque feature in the grounds of the park. The Priory was first founded by the Lord of Dudley, Gervase Paganell, in the 12th Century, and was closed by the infamous Henry VIII in the 1530's. The pools near The Priory were drained when Priory Hall was built in 1825. During the 1930's, The Priory were restored to their current form, and the grounds became a park.
Nice play area for the kids, lovely gardens to walk through, an area to play football and the Priory itself is lovely up see. There is free parking in the side roads. You can’t really ask for more from a free park. There is a bit of litter but that’s because of the people who use it.

So it is a place for everyone from the dog walker from just around the corner to the globetrotting scientist to visit and enjoy. With way-marked trails and a network of paths you can choose how far you want to discover today and which areas to explore next time you come.
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!

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❤️
