About

Rugeley North & Etchinghill sits on the western edge of Cannock Chase, an area defined by a distinct transition in landscape. The residential streets of Rugeley give way to the elevated, open heathland around Etchinghill, marked by sandy soil and clusters of pine trees. This creates a clear boundary between town and the protected countryside.

The area is anchored by the Chase itself, with walking paths leading directly into the forest from its edges. Local activity often centres on access to these trails, with the trig point at Castle Ring offering a view over the surrounding woodland. The presence of this ancient hillfort earthwork underscores the area's long-standing position as a gateway to the Chase.
