Baggeridge Country Park is a beautiful 150-acre nature reserve between Wombourne and Sedgley on the outskirts of the Black Country. This Green Flag Park, which attracts in the region of 200,000 visitors a year, has woodland and meadow areas with several miles of paths, pools, picnic, and amenity areas.

Located nearby is a 5.5-mile linear walk on a former disused railway track, which is also managed by the Ranger Team.
The Role
