RSPB Sandwell Valley

Not open everyday. Kids love it when its open. they have a children's bird club . you have go book. And it is well worth the money, this is one day a week. But I'm sure it would be note successful if it opened more. Car park which you have to pay for. Beautiful surroundings. Vending machines for light snack , tea and coffer. Pity about opening times. Would go more often.

A treasure of nature close to an urban environment. In an hour or so it easy to see up to 40 bird species. Free parking if you are an RSPB member, otherwise it is £3. Or you can park near the road and walk in. It takes about 10 minutes. Excellent visitor centre with very friendly, helpful and well informed staff. A selection of hot & cold drinks plus snacks on sale so you can birdwatch in comfort. There is one excellent bird hide open some week days and at weekends. Very clean toilets in the visitor centre. All in all a great half day out. If you wish you can walk on into the Sandwell Valley and visit other places and nature centres. Highly recommended.

Fancy a nice quiet walk/run/bike ride away from the noise of traffic. Then this is the place for you. Park just inside gates for free and walk up to new visitors centre. Range of activities for children and adults.

Very friendly staff, happy to point birds out to my children. Pleasant walk around the lake and a hide that is open at specified times looking over the lake. Small coffee shopl/cafe in the centre

Really lovely walk with lots of educational signs and activities for children. The visitor’s centre has a great café and an enormous glass window to sit at and bird-watch in the warm whilst enjoying a coffee.
