Hednesford Hills and Raceway

Highlight • Natural

Hednesford Hills, in conjunction with Cannock Chase, serves as an exceptional and expansive illustration of heathland. These areas are a scarce phenomenon in the lowland regions of England, presenting a traditional landscape that has endured largely unchanged for numerous centuries. Notably, the Marquis of Anglesey generously bestowed the majority of this land to Cannock Chase Council on March 7th, 1933, preserving this remarkable landscape for future generations.

Cannock Chase Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

Step back in time and relive the moments of the community's history. Once housing the Valley Colliery, the museum's grounds served as a training pit where countless individuals embarked on their careers in the local coal industry. While the training pit is no more, over 30 acres of lush greenery and picturesque landscapes at the fringes of Cannock Chase and in proximity to the Hednesford Hills Nature Reserve. These hills constitute one of the UK's few remaining areas of pristine heathland.
