Staffordshire Walks
Set on the site of a former colliery, Baggeridge Park is now a wonderful mix of woodland, meadows and open views just waiting to be explored.
With five route options to choose from, these walks range from an easy access park loop to longer countryside adventures that stretch out towards Himley Park and beyond, offering everything from gentle family strolls to more energetic days out.

Walk information
This first route option is a very short walk around the pretty Baggeridge Park that is situated on the site of the old Baggeridge colliery.
This first option is designated on the park as an 'Easy Access' trail which means it was designed with solid and flat paths in mind, making it perfect for wheels.
Walk information
This second route is called the 'Baggeridge Circular Route' on the park and it offers a nice variety of the park's pretty woods and meadows as well as a visit to the Bag Pool pond.
There is a cafe on the site by the car park.
Walk information
This third route option is basically an extension to the second route 'Baggeridge Circular Walk' that still enjoys the woodland and meadows of the park, but it then also takes you on a climb to the 'toposcope' which is the summit of a hill in the park where you can be rewarded with some lovely views.
Walk information
The fourth option is a longer adventure in and around the Baggeridge Park.
It still enjoys the woodland, meadows, pond and views around the park that you'll experience in the third route, but this option gets a bit more 'wild' as it also heads out of the park into some open countryside and for a long walk through Baggeridge Wood.

Walk information
This final walk is the longest route from Baggeridge Park and as well as enjoying a walk through the park itself (as with the other routes), it then takes you on a varied adventure out into the surrounding countryside.
You will visit the lovely Himley Park and take a long sweeping stroll along the South Staffordshire railway walk through Himley. You will also pass by the magnificent Himley Hall and enjoy some of it's 180 acres of parkland. Finally, you'll enjoy some open fields and the pretty Wom Brook near Wombourne.
There is a short section of road walking alongside a busy road (with a footpath) and you do also have to cross the busy A449 road at one point, so please be very careful here. Apart from that though, the scenery during the rest of the walk is more than worth it.
Finally, there is a little detour along the road in Himley that takes you to a choice of two pubs if you want to make this a pub walk day out.
