Norton Canes is a former mining village and civil parish in the district of Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of the heathy country that gives the district its name. The village lies close to Chasewater Country Park and its reservoir, where reclaimed industrial land has become popular for walking, birdwatching and the preserved Chasewater Railway, giving the area a mix of green recreation and industrial heritage.
Historically built around the coalfield, Norton Canes still shows that legacy in local street patterns and community memory, even as the economy has shifted towards retail, light industry and commuting to nearby centres such as Cannock, Walsall and Birmingham. Community life is centred on sports clubs, local events and the shared use of the parkland and waterways, making it a quiet residential place with an unexpectedly strong link to both nature and heritage railways.
