Located in the east of the city, Sheldon Country Park was established in 1986 and is one of the larger country parks within Birmingham, spanning roughly 300 acres. The park boasts vast areas of wetland, grassland, ancient hedgerows, and some mature woodland. These diverse habitats nurture a wide range of plant and animal species. Two watercourses, Westley Brook and Hatchford Brook, flow through the park, both teeming with aquatic life. Herons and Kingfishers can frequently be spotted hunting for fish along the banks. Park Rangers are available on site to offer help and assistance.
