Rawnsley is a small settlement on the edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, England, sitting where heathland and mixed woodland give way to more settled farmland. The surrounding Chase is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so the village enjoys easy access to walking and cycling trails, wildlife-rich open spaces and the historic military training and forestry landscapes that characterise the area.
Historically the locality shares in the wider Cannock Chase story of coal mining and working‑class communities, but today Rawnsley is largely residential with strong local ties and good road links to nearby towns such as Cannock and Hednesford. Its quiet, semi-rural character and proximity to outdoor recreation make it appealing to commuters and those seeking countryside close to urban facilities.
