Heritage Trail for Cannock Chase
What is the Chase Heritage Trail all about?
Cannock Chase is rich in local history and we believe it is very important that we preserve the area's heritage for future generations.
Our ancestors played a vital role in bringing us to where we are today and we need to make sure that our past is not just remembered but also celebrated.
To bring our past alive and also to attract visitors to the area, we are currently working on plans for a new community project.
The Chase Heritage Trail project will not only create a trail taking in historic landmarks and local beauty spots but also enhance the existing Museum of Cannock Chase for anyone to enjoy.
The Chase Heritage Trail will run from Cannock to Rugeley passing through or close to, historic sites that may have previously been difficult to access.
It will offer walks and off-road cycling tracks and will hopefully encourage people to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
The project also includes plans to extend and refurbish the Museum of Cannock Chase with a new local history gallery, enlarged reception area and touch-screen information points.
The project is to be supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Staffordshire Environmental Fund.

Grass Fires Prevention
Grass fires take up a large amount of our Firefighters’ time from Easter through to September. Attending 40 every week means that our crews could be putting out these avoidable grass fires when they should be helping someone whose life may be in danger at a house fire or road traffic collision.
Working with our partners we are trying to reduce the amount of grass fires that occur this Summer with our Summer Fire Safety campaign.
Remember the following when out in the countryside to help us:
- Put out cigarettes and other materials before you leave your vehicle.
- Never throw cigarette ends out of car windows – they could start a fire and ruin the surrounding country.
- If you see a fire in the countryside report it immediately.
- Don’t attempt to tackle fires that can’t be out with a bucket of water – leave the area as soon as possible.
- Don’t leave bottles or glass in woodlands. Sunlight shining through glass can start a fire.
- Lots of grass fires are started by children – educate yours about the dangers of grass fires.
The Service is urging parents to educate children about the dangers of grass fires and be aware of any accidental causes of grass fires such as cigarettes, bonfires, barbeques and glass bottles left in wooded areas, when enjoying the warmer weather,
