Welcome to Heath Hayes and Wimblebury
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Heath Hayes and Wimblebury are two villages which now form a civil parish in the Cannock Chase District of Staffordshire, England. The area has excellent transport links, being close to the strategic transport network via the M6, M6 Toll and A5, and also easy access to both Hednesford and Cannock train stations. There are a number of good schools in the area and also a great choice of leisure and retail facilities with the recently developed McArthur Glen Designer Outlet West Midlands. These, along with the excess of open spaces, being situated directly next to Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), mean that the area remains a popular choice for commuters and families and is one of the most affluent areas in the district. Significant recent housing development in Heath Hayes has meant that the status of the area has consequently changed from a small village to a larger village with a great population.Wimblebury however still remains a picturesque small village, although there have been several new housing developments which now link the village to neighbouring Heath Hayes and also Hednesford. It is though still surrounded on three sides by an excess of green spaces / green belt - notably the Old Brickworks nature reserve, the Hednesford hills nature reserve (which is an area of Special Scientific Interest), Wimblebury Mound (known locally as Cannel Mount) and Bleak House farm, with the village bordering the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
