Welcome to Ocker Hill

Ocker Hill is a small area located in the West Midlands region of England. It is situated in the borough of Sandwell and is known for its rich industrial history. The area was once home to a number of coal mines and ironworks, which played a significant role in the development of the region. Today, Ocker Hill is a bustling community with a range of amenities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

One of the most notable features of Ocker Hill is its proximity to the M6 motorway. This major transport artery connects the area to other parts of the West Midlands and beyond, making it an ideal location for businesses and commuters. The motorway also provides easy access to a range of attractions in the surrounding area, including the Black Country Living Museum and Dudley Zoo.

Despite its industrial past, Ocker Hill is also home to a number of green spaces and parks. The area is situated close to the Tame Valley Canal, which provides a peaceful retreat for walkers and cyclists. There are also several parks and playgrounds in the area, including Ocker Hill Park and Jubilee Park. These green spaces provide a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and are popular with families and nature lovers alike.

Oily Gough Local Nature Reserve
Oily Goughs Is A Site That We Have Done Lots Of Work On Recently. After A Series Of Amphibian Surveys (To Make Sure There Were No Protected Species On Site), We Have Reprofiled The Pond At The Southern End Of The Site. It Had Been Very Overgrown With Reeds, And Was Almost Completely Dried Up This Year. After Relocating Some Fish And Other Animals, We Scraped A New Profile For The Pond, Which Should Refill Over The Winter And Look Fabulous By Summer 2012! There Are Two Other Pools Ate Oily Goughs (Which Was Named After A Man Named Gough Who Used To Sell Scrap Oil On The Site Many Years Ago!). Caravan 13 Willenhall Ln Walsall Lancashire WS2 7NN 4.93 miles There Is No Parking For This Park, So You Have To Park On The Opposite Side Of The Road Next To The School. There Is A Wooden Nature Reserve Sign That Is Visible From The Kerb Side So You Will Not Miss It. I Would Recommend Dogs On Leads From The Car To The Big Field Which They Are Free To Run Wild.
