👍 It's a nice quiet place to go for a walk. Although parking is a little sparse. Fair amount of litter sadly. But a beautiful walk. People often mention walk,

    Former airfield now converted into a nature reserve. Good for dog walking. Some events held during the year. Burger van in side road opposite Longwood lane entrance.

    This is a beautiful spot for a short walk, anywhere up to about 3km before you need to turn round but the different paths mean you can change the routes up for a nice dog walk. There are bird feeders around so if you like bird spotting there are always lots of friendly robins (and other birds too). There is so much wild garlic after the first km or so and the whole wood looks magical. There's a rope swing too but you definitely need wellies for it because it's over mud. There's a field next to the wood for dogs too, and parking opposite the entrance on a side road. I've only seen a couple of dog bins near the entrance though and there are non in the woods. Genuinely one of my favourite places.

    peaceful walks in a disused quarry which is now a nature reserve. Parking available at the nearby Aldridge airport (now a recreation ground).

    A beautiful wood where you are surrounded by birdsong, nature and peace.

    Beautiful (not so hidden) gem in Aldridge. Great for joggers & dog walkers alike. There are 2 different carparks for this and if you do go exploring you'll be surprised with exactly how far you can go from this seemingly small woodland area!

    Lovely place to take the dog for a good run. Both open field and shade of the woods. Will go back again. No toilet facilities which is the only down side in the summer and if you have children with you.

    When there aren't any yobs on bikes, this is a beautiful place for nature and relaxing, walking the dogs and generally chilling out.

    Beautiful footpath along the now redundant canal extension, lots of wildlife including now parakeets who you can hear before seeing. The only problem around here are the men meeting in the woods playing sausage jockeys, normally only in the summer time as too cold for the sausage in winter.

    Very disappointing. Trees along the stream are all completely swamped in ivy which needs to be removed or all the trees will die. The field is ok for dog walkers but has been planted out with saplings too close together. The field next to the trees had been planted with hazel probably 7-10 years ago and in regimented rows only 2 feet apart. This will need to be thinned very soon or it will form an impenetrable wall.
