 Sandwell Valley - Definition 

Sandwell Valley is an area of green belt in the West Midlands of England, on the border of Birmingham and West Bromwich, with Walsall at its northern end.

It is a valley on the River Tame, and is mostly made up of RSPB Sandwell Valley nature reserve and Sandwell Valley Country Park, with a couple of golf courses and some private fields, plus Forge Mill Farm and Sandwell Park Farm, both of which are operated by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council as educational facilities - the former using modern farming techniques, the latter with a walled garden and rare breeds of farm animals.

The M5 motorway bisects the valley, with the intersection between it and the M6 at the northern end.

The Birmingham-Walsall railway line, part of the old Grand Junction Railway, also uses the valley.

Historically, the valley was centered around Sandwell Priory.
