Angling jetties in Baggeridge Country Park near Wombourne
These jetties on the island are seen here, looking across Island Pool from the southern end of the main circular walk.
There are four main pools in Baggeridge Country Park. From the north, these are the Upper and Lower Wishing Pools, Spring Pool, and Island Pool. There are a few smaller ones. Another two large pools, Rock Pool and Great Pool are below Island Pool (behind the camera) in the adjacent Himley Park. All were originally landscaped by Capability Brown when the park was part of the Earl of Dudley's Himley estate.
