Alder Coppice

It is an ancient woodland, area 25 acres (10 ha),^[1] maintained by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. It was designated a local nature reserve in November 2019.^[2][3]

There are pathways through the wood, including three waymarked pathways of differing lengths. There are tree-stump seats around the wood. Birds can be seen including woodpeckers; flowers to be seen when in season include displays of bluebells, and wild garlic.^[1]

A feature is the "Conversation Crescent", funded by Age UK Dudley: this is a crescent of benches, arranged to allow visitors to easily see and speak to one another or to enjoy space and solitude if they prefer; to encourage conversation but not demand it.^[1][3]
