Welcome to Brownhills

Brownhills is a small town located in Staffordshire, England. It is situated on the edge of Cannock Chase, a large area of natural beauty that is popular with walkers and cyclists. The town has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. In the 19th century, Brownhills became a hub for coal mining, and the town grew rapidly as a result. Today, Brownhills is a thriving community with a range of amenities and attractions.

One of the most notable features of Brownhills is its canal network. The town is situated on the Wyrley and Essington Canal, which was once a vital transport link for the coal mining industry. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters and walkers, with a number of pubs and restaurants located along its banks. The canal also provides a habitat for a range of wildlife, including kingfishers, herons, and otters.

Another popular attraction in Brownhills is Chasewater Country Park. This large park covers over 900 acres and includes a reservoir, woodland, and open grassland. The park is a popular destination for families, with a range of activities available, including cycling, fishing, and water sports. There is also a heritage railway that runs through the park, offering visitors the chance to take a ride on a steam train and learn about the history of the area.

Oily Gough Local Nature Reserve
Oily Goughs Is A Site That We Have Done Lots Of Work On Recently. After A Series Of Amphibian Surveys (To Make Sure There Were No Protected Species On Site), We Have Reprofiled The Pond At The Southern End Of The Site. It Had Been Very Overgrown With Reeds, And Was Almost Completely Dried Up This Year. After Relocating Some Fish And Other Animals, We Scraped A New Profile For The Pond, Which Should Refill Over The Winter And Look Fabulous By Summer 2012! There Are Two Other Pools Ate Oily Goughs (Which Was Named After A Man Named Gough Who Used To Sell Scrap Oil On The Site Many Years Ago!). Caravan 13 Willenhall Ln Walsall Lancashire WS2 7NN 4.54 miles There Is No Parking For This Park, So You Have To Park On The Opposite Side Of The Road Next To The School. There Is A Wooden Nature Reserve Sign That Is Visible From The Kerb Side So You Will Not Miss It. I Would Recommend Dogs On Leads From The Car To The Big Field Which They Are Free To Run Wild.
