Stanmore Country Park, Bridgnorth, Nature reserve in Bridgnorth, England
Stanmore Country Park encompasses 100 acres of woodland and meadows, featuring numerous walking paths through diverse natural environments and old concrete roads.
From 1939 to 1963, the park grounds operated as RAF Bridgnorth Training Camp, accommodating 3,500 trainees and 800 staff members during its peak.
The preserved boiler-house chimney stack stands as a memorial to RAF personnel, restored in 2013 to mark 50 years since the camp's closure.
Three radar-operated kissing gates provide wheelchair and mobility scooter access throughout the park, with hard-surfaced paths following former military roads.
The park houses rare black poplar trees and serves as a habitat for nationally scarce hoverfly species, discovered in 2009 among the dead wood.
