Swan Pool provides opportunities for bird watching, angling, sailing, canoeing and even open water swimming (lifeguard training only).
Swan Pool started life as a mill pond, before being extended twice, first to take the extra water being pumped out of a local mine and later as a leisure facility. Some of the smaller ponds in the Valley are bomb craters from World War 2, but the one just past the Priory site, under the pylons, was actually a tank testing ground for tanks made locally during the war.

This cache consists of a pencil and a log. No matter which route you take to retrieve this cache you will find yourself ankle deep in mud followin heavy rainfall. This is why I have rated the terrain as 3.
The closest parking facility is Swan Pool car park, just off Forge Lane. This lane can be access from the Newton Road or Park Lane (near WBA football ground J1, M5).
