In August 2025, Dee R said about Walsall Arboretum
Luckily for me, I live very near to an entrance to the wilderness part of the Arboretum where it stops at the canal. It's like being in the country and you can walk, run or cycle through acres of space before you get to the Grange carpark, main area of the park.
Even walking through the park does not feel like Walsall.
It is wonderful most of the time. Only scummy people will detract your pleasure, from this Victorian Park.
They do not have the meticulously kept flowerbeds from my childhood, but considering how run down the rest of Walsall is, it's a relief from the litter, squalor and urban decay that has befallen the rest of this once proud, wealthy town.
There is now an open air gym facility as well as the older exercise area, the tennis courts I fo still use, I'm not sure if crown green bowls is still available and I haven't seen anyone rowing about on the lake either but Parkrun is still on every Saturday at 9.00am which again, I do utilize.
I would probably move away if it were not for the Arboretum.
Walsall has nothing else to offer anymore.
So yes the Arboretum is not only the Jewel in The Crown of Walsall. It is the only jewel.

It is the 2nd time I have been to the shop in Willenhall. And it is such a welcoming place to go, Paul was in and remembered me from months before. I was after a candle that wasn't available, Paul offered to make me one that would be ready in a few days, but he said he could do the room spray. PERFECT! I also picked up a mystery box and for the money it is well worth it, different products and smells to try. I think what Viki and Paul stand for and what they have accomplished it truly inspiring, and as for the products. They fill your home with amazing smells that last

Wonderful company! The scents are amazing, so long lasting and gorgeous right across the range. I love the candles and wax melts but the Hoover discs have revolutionised my home smell and my feelings about hoovering! I've now signed up to the Ember subscription box. What a treat and incredible value. Will return again and again. In addition to fantastic products Vicki and Paul are just such lovely people with a really welcoming environment. If give them 10 stars if I could!

Food was good but the price points are way off, I had fish pakora which cost £6.95 and all I got was four tiny pieces, the person who creates the menu and the price points needs to have another look at the menu as this would put me off going to eat there again

Came for tea as a family pub was bust but staff accommodated us , member of staff came over and took our drinks order , then came over and took our food order , my daughter had the lasagne which came with a little side salad and garlic bread , the comment she made was it was lovely and cheesy , my husband had the surf and turf and asked for his steak to be cooked rare , he said it was the best steak he had eaten in a long time , I myself went for the new jersey chicken which was to die for it was so tasty it was a chicken beast with bacon and cheese and pulled pork with bbq sauce it was so tasty, don't be put off with the petty comments about the food we have been a few times now and food been delicious and staff are so friendly well done team
