Situated at the southern end of the Town Park, well away from the busy town centre end,  the Crannog and Grange Pool are to some extent hidden gems of the Town Park.

Crannog is a Celtic word meaning “man-made island” and this crannog is exactly that. It was established in the 1990s to support the study of wildlife around Grange Pool. You can read more about the Crannog and about the bird and wildlife that can be seen there in this leaflet

With the support of Simmonds Transport, the Friends of Telford Town Park are now involved in a major project to repair and improve the facilities at the Crannog and the area around Grange pool. This project will include:

• Repair the Onion seating area
