About

Great Wyrley is a large village and civil parish in the district of South Staffordshire, situated approximately four miles southwest of Cannock. The area is characterised by residential neighbourhoods interspersed with green spaces and local amenities, serving a primarily residential community. Its landscape includes areas of former agricultural land and pockets of woodland on its fringes, reflecting its historical transition from a more rural setting.

The settlement is historically linked to the local coal mining industry, though this has long since ceased. A notable feature is the network of canals, including the Wyrley and Essington Canal, which threads through the area and provides a linear route for walking and cycling. The community is served by its own railway station on the Walsall to Rugeley line, offering direct connections to larger urban centres in the West Midlands region.
