Stopped off here on route to final destination with my fur baby. Plenty of things to sniff and see, looked very well tended and a nice cafe to stop off at after our walk. There's an area set aside for den making and the routes were easily navigable.

​Really peaceful park with some lovely views! The walking routes are nice and clear, there's a good playground for the kids. Great to have a café on site which is very dog friendly Definitely worth a visit! ​⚠️ Quick heads-up on parking: While parking has historically been Birmingham City Council has been rolling out parking charges across major parks recently. It might be worth keeping a bit of change or your phone handy just in case the meters are active when you pull in!

Beautiful woodland area with views/ vistas across Worcestershire and West Midlands area. Originally donated to Birmingham city by leading Quakers, for the enjoyment of the residents, it has suffered from Austerity measures leading abandoned overgrown paths, drainage issues and fallen trees everywhere. It is ideal for strenuous aerobic walks but bring water and food and drink with you as cafe in the visitor centre is closed ? The cafe at the golf course does a nice bacon butty !
