Baggeridge

Secluded countryside on the edge of the Black Country
Country Park
West Midlands

This area reclaimed from a former coal pit between Wombourne and Sedgley is now a Green Flag park, offering secluded countryside and a variety of wildlife within easy reach of Dudley and Wolverhampton. There are a variety of trails (see below), a miniature railway and a programme of guided walks and other activities.

The land originally formed part of the Himley Hall estate but was mined between 1895 and 1968. The country park was officially opened in 1983, and is now managed by South Staffordshire District Council.
