Great video, mate. I have been there a couple of times, more recently, when I walked Beacon Way passing through. If you continued down the canal a little bit more, it meets the Rushall canal at Longwood Bridge then down the locks and a bit further theres a path onto Walsall Arboretum. I think its at Moat Bridge. Great vlog. I've not seen parrots there, but will look out for them now. Ali the best, Webby 👍
Cheers Webby awesome place I'll check out the canal in another video im planning going back when the bike is all ok and running with no issues I'll do a long length. the parrots was cool think they recently gone in that nature reserve there spreading throughout the midlands
@MidlandsOutdoors I saw one years ago in Sandwell Valley, but only ever seen them wild in London and Spain, lol. I want to go and re film the Daw End, re doing the Tame Valley at the minute, as they were all onld videos.
Yet another place I'd never heard of. Looks a peaceful place too. Nicely filmed and edited too. I wanted to say this vid was the pits 😂 I cor miss an obvious pun can I lol
My dad was a Walsall firefighter and tells me of a young girl who drown in the larger pool around 45 years ago. Her and some friends were swinging from a tree and unfortunately she died. I think that tree may have been cut down and you can see the stump today.
Thanks for sharing this such a tragic story . Shame for that age to go so quick the tree as mentioned might have gone but brilliant place overall for a explore
@@drewsoutdooradventures01 I went a walk there yesterday with my dad. There is a lot of green spaces to explore in the Walsall area. I think the West Midlands is a really interesting place to live.
Thank you it's believed a big area some areas what are questionable is Wolverhampton as black country is defined by coal seams same for Stourbridge , Walsall is definitely included this makes up Aldridge closer to this video I filmed as it was covered by coal seams and the canal was very industrialised . I will make a video based on what is the black country ? It's a interesting topic as the locals agree and disagree in some areas but the black country was areas that where covered by smoke during the industrial revolution, Dudley , Walsall , lye , parts of Halesowen , Cradley , west brom , Tipton , wednesbury , and a few others . If a area wasn't covered by a coal seam then technically it wouldnt be part of the black country but other industries in reality did have some play in how it evolved like cradley with chain making
Depends where the coal fields was that make it into the black country parts come under Staffordshire and shropshire in the older days I believe it was very well industrialised in that area , limestone mining , brick works and coal mines on Google it says Walsall comes under the black country on historic England Walsall includes the towns of Aldridge, Bloxwich, Brownhills, Darlaston, Walsall and Willenhall. . However the canal at that area played a important role in sending the lime into nearby factory's so it does link in with black country history

True walsolians would beg to differ, Walsall was famous for its leather works but we won't split hairs it was a walk down memory lane.........
@@DianneChance-j5qmust say some interesting industries over that way that used to operate
You can see lots of parrots 🦜🦜 in Walsall arboretum 🦜🦜🦜🦜
I'll check out that and more nature reserves around Walsall love the wildlife 😁
