Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Penkridge

Highlight • Trail

The lively market town of Penkridge is easy to access and a handy base for exploring Cannock Chase AONB, which is a short drive or longish walk to the east. It is only a half an hour train ride from Birmingham, is right next to the M6 and is also served by the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. The town has a couple of hotels and an inn, as well as plenty of places to eat and drink.
