Welcome to Black Lake

Black Lake is a small area located in the West Midlands region of England. It is situated in the borough of Sandwell and is known for its beautiful lake, which is surrounded by lush greenery. The lake is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and it is also a great place for a leisurely stroll or picnic. The area is home to a diverse community, and there are plenty of amenities and attractions nearby.

One of the most notable features of Black Lake is the Black Country Living Museum. This open-air museum is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the Black Country region, which includes the West Midlands and parts of Staffordshire. Visitors can explore a recreated Victorian town, complete with shops, houses, and a pub. There are also exhibits on the area's industrial heritage, including a working forge and a coal mine. The museum is a great place to learn about the history of the region and experience what life was like in the past.

Another popular attraction in Black Lake is the Sandwell Valley Country Park. This large park covers over 1,000 acres and includes a variety of habitats, including woodlands, meadows, and wetlands. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails to explore, as well as a visitor center with exhibits on the park's wildlife and history. The park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and mammals such as deer and foxes. It is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet in nature.

Oily Gough Local Nature Reserve
Oily Goughs Is A Site That We Have Done Lots Of Work On Recently. After A Series Of Amphibian Surveys (To Make Sure There Were No Protected Species On Site), We Have Reprofiled The Pond At The Southern End Of The Site. It Had Been Very Overgrown With Reeds, And Was Almost Completely Dried Up This Year. After Relocating Some Fish And Other Animals, We Scraped A New Profile For The Pond, Which Should Refill Over The Winter And Look Fabulous By Summer 2012! There Are Two Other Pools Ate Oily Goughs (Which Was Named After A Man Named Gough Who Used To Sell Scrap Oil On The Site Many Years Ago!). Caravan 13 Willenhall Ln Walsall Lancashire WS2 7NN 5.57 miles There Is No Parking For This Park, So You Have To Park On The Opposite Side Of The Road Next To The School. There Is A Wooden Nature Reserve Sign That Is Visible From The Kerb Side So You Will Not Miss It. I Would Recommend Dogs On Leads From The Car To The Big Field Which They Are Free To Run Wild.
