In Sandwell Valley is Sandwell Park Farm, a fully restored 18th century farm which was constructed to supply food throughout the year to the Earls of Dartmouth’s estate and Sandwell Hall.
A variety of livestock housed within the central courtyard and adjoining pasture are the actual breeds which would have been kept on the farm at the turn of the century.
The Victorian Kitchen Garden demonstrates the techniques used to supply vegetables and fresh fruit to Sandwell Hall. The farm also contains collection of old agricultural machinery and displays illustrating human activity in Sandwell Valley from pre-historic times.
This is a wonderful day out for children and families with plenty of open space to tire out the kiddies.
The main parking area for this cache is at the farm car park off Salter’s Lane (please note closing time in winter is 5pm). The cache is easily accessible from this point.
This cache consists of a small plastic box containing a log but no pencil. The original treasure was a glass heart and silver ball. Cache is positioned approx 2 metres from a path.
This area could become quite busy at times so you may need a 'look out' whilst you retrieve the cache.
The Country Park can be found just off Junction 1 of the M5 motorway, at West Bromwich. Sandwell Park Farm, Salters Lane, West Bromwich, B71 4BG.
