In July 2020 the Black Country successfully secured UNESCO Global Geopark status, alongside 161 Geoparks around the world.

“With geology stretching back 428 million years, and a landscape and heritage that shaped the modern world during the industrial revolution, it is right that the Black Country is given this prestigious UN status.”
(Ambassador Matthew Lodge, UK Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, Foreign and Commonwealth Office)

The Folder contains walks within the boundaries of the new Geopark.
