Burntwood sits on the edge of the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, positioned roughly four miles west of Lichfield and northeast of Walsall. The town grew significantly during the 19th century as the local coal mining industry expanded, leaving a legacy of sturdy red-brick architecture and a distinct sense of community identity. Geographically, it is practical for commuters, as it is well-served by the A5 and M6 Toll, while remaining high enough to offer clear views across the Staffordshire countryside. It is perhaps best known for being the site where the Staffordshire Hoard - the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found - was discovered in a nearby field in 2009. Locally, life tends to centre around the shops at Sankey’s Corner and the extensive green spaces like Chasewater Country Park, which borders the town and provides a large reservoir for sailing and walking.
