Cannock West & Mill Green

Cannock West & Mill Green forms a residential and lightly commercial district on the western edge of Cannock town. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates, local shopping parades, and several primary schools, serving a settled community. Its layout is practical, with good road connections to the town centre and the surrounding Chase. The landscape begins to transition here, with some streets offering views towards the wooded slopes that mark the start of the wider Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A defining local feature is the presence of Mill Green Nature Reserve, a compact wetland area centred on a series of old mill ponds along the Rising Brook. This provides a distinct, tranquil space for walking and wildlife within the suburban setting. The area is also home to Cannock Park Golf Club, with its course utilising the gently rolling terrain. Daily life is oriented around local amenities, with the community benefiting from direct access to the vast heathland and forest trails of Cannock Chase just a short distance to the north.
