Sandwell Valley


A country park with a mix of activities, including a nice, big dirt pump/jump track and the Miner's Trail is a dedicated mountain bike trail which includes three kilometres of trails for all abilities, with some exciting and challenging technical features. The trail is free to use.

National Cycle Network route 5 also runs across the park which is perfect for traffic-free family cycling. There are also a couple of long (32 and 42 mile) leisure rides available here too.

Two leisure rides for you to download and explore. 

Both rides take in Sandwell Valley Country Park, Warrens Hall Country Park, Netherton and Coseley tunnels (so a good front light is a must have), Rowley Hills, Weddell Wynd, Merrions Wood, Red House Park and RSPB reserve.

WHERE: Parking at Swan Pool Car Park B71 3SZ (paybyphone app £1.30 for 3hrs). For visitors with roof-mounted bikes, we recommend parking either at Sandwell Park Farm or at Forge Mill Farm.
