The two main attractions at the country park are our two farms - where you can meet animals, enjoy farm-themed activities and school holiday sessions.
Sandwell Park Farm
Sandwell Park Farm is a fully restored working Victorian farm. Grazing meadows, a traditional farmyard, walled kitchen gardens, Grade II listed buildings, a small museum and award-winning tea rooms provide a perfect day out.
Forge Mill Farm
The Visitor Centre acts as the gateway to the Forge Mill Lake and Swan Pool areas of Sandwell Valley and the RSPB nature reserve. Forge Mill is also the centre of the farming operation within the Country Park where you can see a wide variety of the livestock that live in the Country Park.
