The Crooked House sits proudly in Gornal at the heart of the Black Country and shares the area with many local attractions and activities.
We are fortunate enough to be located right on the boundary (literally) of both South Staffordshire and Dudley Council.
There are some great walks surrounding us, not least with the landscaped landfill site behind us that now is home to nature reserve and a view to take the breath away. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of the Muntjack and other wildlife, rarely seen kingfishers, woodpeckers and birds of prey have all been seen.
As mentioned we are right on the boundary of South Staffordshire and they have a wealth of attractions and activities for people to visit:

The Black Country Museum
Britain's Friendliest Open Air Museum
Discover a fascinating world when you visit this urban heritage park in the shadow of Dudley Castle at the heart of the Black Country.
Historic buildings from all around the Black Country have been moved and authentically rebuilt at the Museum, to create a tribute to the traditional skills and enterprise of the people that once lived in the heart of industrial Britain.
Visitors are transported back in time from the modern exhibition halls to the canal-side village, where costumed demonstrators and working craftsmen bring the buildings to life with their local knowledge, practical skills and unique Black Country humour.
