Woodland bench in Baggeridge Country Park near Sedgley This is on the waymarked route down Jake&#039;s Ladder, a very steep (and precarious in wet autumn weather) stepped route down to the pools. That this land was formerly a coal mine is evident from the high amount of coal dust in the soil on the bank.
