Sir Gavin Williamson MP enjoyed a visit to Moseley Old Hall, where he was shown around the newly reopened Stablecroft Meadow and Woodland Play Area—a major National Trust project that brings together nature, families, and heritage in a really special way. 

During the visit, Sir Gavin met with the team behind the project and saw first-hand how the space has been transformed. From thousands of newly planted native trees and hedgerows to a vibrant new woodland play area, the improvements are already having a visible impact on the site’s natural beauty and family appeal. 

Sir Gavin said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Moseley Old Hall and see the fantastic work being done. The new meadow and play area are not only a wonderful space for children and families, but they’re also a great example of how we can protect and enhance our local environment. It’s clear the team here are passionate about making the site more accessible and welcoming for everyone.” 

Amongst the new additions is the ‘Bee’s Eye View’ mound, offering a fresh perspective of the grounds, as well as nearly 50 traditional fruit trees and over 3,500 native British trees and shrubs like hawthorn, hazel and crab apple. 

The woodland play area includes climbing frames, musical instruments, wooden teepees and even a mud kitchen—all designed to encourage imaginative outdoor play. 

Property Operations Manager Arun Chand added: “We were so pleased to welcome Sir Gavin and show him what we’ve been working on. This project is all about creating a place where families can explore, learn, and enjoy being out in nature—and we’re just getting started.” 

Final touches to the project, including more signage and soft landscaping, were completed in time for the May half-term, along with an exciting 4.5-metre log tunnel for the play area. 

Moseley Old Hall welcomes families, schools and visitors of all ages to come and see the new developments—and enjoy a day out where nature and history come to life.
