Welcome to Calf Heath

Calf Heath is a small village located in the county of Staffordshire, England. It is situated between the cities of Wolverhampton and Stafford, and is part of the South Staffordshire district. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, which attracts many visitors throughout the year. The village has a population of around 1,000 people, and is home to a number of local businesses, including a pub, a post office, and a convenience store.

One of the main attractions in Calf Heath is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which runs through the village. The canal was built in the late 18th century, and was used to transport goods such as coal and iron between the two counties. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters and walkers, who can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and spot wildlife such as ducks, swans, and herons. The canal also has a number of locks, which are still operated by hand, and provide a glimpse into the area's industrial past.

Another notable feature of Calf Heath is the nearby Hatherton Reservoir, which is a popular spot for fishing and birdwatching. The reservoir covers an area of around 50 acres, and is home to a variety of fish species, including carp, bream, and pike. The surrounding woodland is also home to a range of bird species, including kingfishers, woodpeckers, and owls. The reservoir is managed by the South Staffordshire Water Company, and is a vital source of drinking water for the local 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 6.38 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.
