"Forest Tales"
Cannock Chase comprises many acres of woodland and heathland to the north of Birmingham. It has long been a popular local beauty spot, but its museum is also worth a visit. It tells the story of the Chase from its early days as a hunting forest to more recent times when coal was extracted from beneath it. Indeed, the museum is located on the site of a colliery used to train young miners in simulated mining conditions. Formal galleries, complemented by temporary exhibitions, display what life was like for miners and their families and guided tours are led by costumed guides. Special events also take place throughout the year so ring for more details.
