Brindley Heath is a large expanse of woodland and open space on the edge of Cannock Chase. The area has remains of the disused coal mines, interesting wildlife and a rare hybrid bilberry, which grows in high concentration here.

Primarily served as a training facility during and after World War II. Closed in 1959, the base is no longer operational and has since been repurposed for civilian use.
