Turner's Wood
A spinney dominated by oak trees with some Scots Pine, Holly and Rowan, Turner’s wood has a beautiful display of Bluebells each year and is also a good site for woodland birds. It has existed for at least 170 years (and may be much older), and presumably once supplied wood and timber to the small rural community which lived around the common.
Lying next to Pelsall South Common with its acid grassland and relict heathland it plays a part in a wildlife corridor linking Cannock Chase down to the centre of Walsall. As such it is another important wildlife site in the Birmingham and Black Country Nature Improvement Area.
