About Cannock

Cannock’s history is linked with the county’s coal mining heritage but can trace its origins to the settlement of Chenet in the Domesday Book. Linked with its near neighbours including Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley and Hednesford, the town grew due to heavy industry. Cannock Chase is the area’s best known beauty spot.
