    What a lovely place for walking, cycling etc. There are many fields, pools and canal areas to visit and walk along with a visitor centre that opens 3 tuned a week. There are benches around so you could take a picnic. Unfortunately our visit was spoiled by someone setting fire to the bushes over Netherton tunnel and I had to call the fire brigade. The fire was extensive and well ablaze. A fisherman told us he had to put a fire out the day before that kids had lit.

    We moored here for a few days in our narrowboat. It's a little oasis amongst the urban sprawl. Kept spotless by friendly volunteers who also run a very reasonably priced cafe. Lovely walks with the dog, lots of wildlife and history too. And lots of friendly locals to chat to. Also a handy waterpoint for boaters.

    A great place to enjoy the canal, the wildlife and the local history, if your lucky the bumblehole visitor centre will be open for some well deserved refreshments after your walk.

    A lovely part of the Black Country to go walking in anytime of the year especially on a summers evening. The area is what made the Black Country famous so we should treasure it and enjoy it. The netherton tunnel is a must do and always pop into the bumble hole cafe for a cuppa! There's an annual boat festival which runs all day, worth a day out when its back up and running.

    Lovely place to stroll and enjoy nature, a small carpark that usually has spaces and plenty of things to see and do either by the canal or in the fields and woods. Always plenty of birds to spot and people out to say hello to. It is also the entrance to Netherton tunnel, Europe's longest double toe path canal tunnel. Worth a walk through, but you'll need water proof shoes and a good torch.

    Love walking down here, before last March we only ever visited for the annual boat show but since lockdowns began its been our daily exercise walk. It's so good as we love within walking distance, there's always something to see. Fab way to blow the cobwebs away!

    Some good paths for walking and some a little muddy but generally a very well kept nature reserve with some wonderful spots for views across the black country. Places to perch and sit, a great range of grassy, hilly and gravel terrains.

    Haven't been there for a few years. Went back there yesterday. What a gem of history and tranquility. A warm friendly welcome at the canal side cafe. Can't beat a cup of tea and ice cream cone. Non of that plastic malarkey it came out on a tray proper cups, milk, sugar etc. It was like entering a friendly community with everyone chatting to everyone. Are we going back oh YES!!

    The cafe is dog friendly and they sell bags of duck food for £1. Nice and clean no litter

    It a nice place for a walk and or your pet dog " keep your dog on the leash it might scare the wildlife" and interaction with nature. Can be very cold during the winter months, but just rap up well . Generally a very tranquil quiet place it can be busy but that's in the summer months, winter time hardly any one around. There is a caffe come museum with amenities. And past industrial archeology to look at, were you can see the beginning of the industrial revolution.

    Lovely place to visit. Volunteers keep the park immaculate. Free parking and lovely walks along the canals. There is a cafe there run by volunteers ( cash only ) by the side of the canal . On a nice day, it is lovely to sit outside and enjoy the view. There is also a council run walk from warrens hall car park every Wednesday at 10.30, a gentle stroll which lasts an hour. Everyone is welcome. It is free to join

    Small cafe run by volunteers. Toilets and a few bits of confectionery and drinks to purchase. Some interesting information about the local area and geology.
