Victorian-era urban woodland with rolling lawns, mature trees, a central pavilion and winding paths — great for seasonal colour, intimate forest scenes, architectural shots of the Pavilion and candid park life. Free entry; small car park on Lightwoods Hill and bus links from Smethwick. Best at golden hour and autumn for foliage; weekday mornings/blue hour reduce crowds. Paths suit tripod; some muddy trails after rain.
