Perton Lake

Highlight • Lake

The large village of Perton is separated from Wolverhampton by a slither of green belt, just enough to give it its own identity, rather than being a suburb swallowed by the West Midland conurbation. It is a pretty village that has two small lakes, the bigger even has its own little island. The village developed during the 1970s and 1980s on land that was previously used as an RAF base.

There are a number of pleasant footpaths in and around the village. Its lakes can be linked with Bluebell Wood, which is beautiful in the warmer months. There is little accommodation in the village; the closest hotel is the Mount in Tettenhall Wood.

Wrottesley Park

Highlight • Settlement

Once a prosperous manor, Wrottesley Park was held by the Wrottesley family until the estate was put up for sale and its assets fragmented in the 1960s. Today the area comprises a private golf course, orchards, a 'pick your own fruit' farm, a lost medieval village and a moated manor house.

In 1696, a grand new hall was built here but was sadly destroyed by a fire in 1897, which destroyed valuable items such as a set of ancient English Chronicles and a first folio of Shakespeare's works. In 1923, the hall was rebuilt but on a much smaller scale.
