About Merrions Wood Nature Reserve

Merrions Wood Local Nature Reserve is a wonderful oak and beech woodland 5km (3 miles) south east of Walsall town centre. Around 7 (17 acres) hectares in size, Merrions Wood Local Nature Reserve not only contains trees, but also a pond, adding to the variety of wildlife you can find here.

Once part of the Great Barr Hall estate, the site is now owned by the Merrions Wood Local Nature Reserve Trust and managed by Countryside Services. It forms the western part of the Great Barr Conservation area and is designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
