Black Country farm with highland cows and play barn perfect for a fun family day out this May bank holiday

Forge Mill Farm is a family-friendly visitor attraction located in the heart of Sandwell Valley Country Park in West Bromwich that boasts a farm trail and a play barn.

It is situated on Forge Lane and is a short drive away from Wolverhampton.

It features over 300 animals, an all-new accessible farm trail, and indoor adventure play barns.

You can get up close to rare pigs, cattle, and sheep, alongside daily hands-on interactions like goat milking demonstrations, bottle feeding, and grooming sessions.

On its Facebook page the farm said: “Why not head on down to forge mill farm this weekend to meet all of our lovely animals and explore the farm trail to see the highland cows! Don’t forget to visit the Play Barn to burn off some extra energy (£3 per child)”.

As the farm sits within Sandwell Valley Country Park, it also serves as an excellent starting point for five-mile country walks and exploring the surrounding woodlands and lakes.

It is a great day out for the family - exploring the farm, getting up close to animals and enjoying woodland walks.

There is also a local farm shop and cafes so you can stock up on locally sourced produce, fresh eggs, honey, and gifts at the farm shop, or grab hot drinks and baked goods.

The farm is expected to be busy this weekend due to it being a bank holiday.

The site advises visitors to access to the farm via the Newton Road only, due to ongoing roadworks.

There will be no access via the park lane entry by the Albion ground. Visitors are encouraged to enter forge lane via Newton Road.
