Sandwell Valley Country Park
Leave the RSPB car park by going left of the visitor centre building onto a footpath. This leads down to a path along the dike crest between the River Tame and Forge Mill Lake. Continue along this footpath as it arcs gently right – look out for the many birds on the lake, as well as Canada geese and ducks on the river. As you work your way around the lake, you will come to a gateway where you go left over a bridge across the River Tame. Turn immediately left to continue on a tarmac path/cycleway that leads down to Forge Lane.
Cross the busy lane with great care, and walk to the right of the Sandwell Valley Sailing Club, then bear left until you come to the shore of Swan Pool.
