Welcome to Cannock

Cannock is a town located in Staffordshire, England. It is situated on the edge of the Cannock Chase, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age. In the 19th century, Cannock became a hub for coal mining, and the town grew rapidly as a result. Today, Cannock is a bustling town with a range of amenities and attractions.

One of the main attractions in Cannock is the Cannock Chase Forest. This vast woodland covers over 26 square miles and is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers. The forest is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders, with a network of trails and paths to explore. There are also several visitor centers and cafes dotted throughout the forest, making it a great place to spend a day out with the family.

Another popular attraction in Cannock is the Chasewater Country Park. This 360-acre park is situated around a large reservoir and offers a range of activities, including fishing, sailing, and water sports. There are also several walking and cycling trails to explore, as well as a miniature railway and a heritage center. The park is a great place to relax and unwind, with plenty of open space and stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

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!).

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.
