The Black Country was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, so you’ll find plenty of historic places to explore nearby all year round. And lots of fun too. We’re on the doorstep of Himley Hall and Park, or why not visit National Trust properties Kinver Edge and Rock Houses or Wightwick Manor and Gardens, or the fascinating Black Country Living Museum? You’ll find fresh air and countryside at Cotall End Local Nature Reserve, and Baggeridge Country Park. Or if sport’s your thing, try The Staffordshire Golf Club or Full Throttle Raceway. Take a boat trip at Dudley Canal Trust or enjoy a great day out at Dudley Zoo and Castle.
