Dudley: wherever there is a patch of grass, a horse will be grazing. These all had their little territories within the Buckpool and Fens Pool LNR.

The climbing plant which creates a tangle with other vegetation and which seems to get everywhere.

Built about 1600, this is one of the oldest buildings within Wolverhampton’s city limits.

It’s now owned by the city council, and run as a country park and nature reserve. There are old species of pigs, cows, sheep, turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese as well as extensive parkland, woodland and pasture.

There are also picnic areas, and tea rooms which always seem to be well patronised.
