New Bridgtown Trails: Explore, Discover & Earn Rewards with Cannock Chase Can!

There’s a whole new reason to get out and about in Bridgtown — and it’s bursting with stories, creativity and local pride!

We’re excited to announce two brand new heritage trails, now live as fun, family-friendly challenges. Whether you’re looking for an adventure with the kids, a chance to stretch your legs, or just love discovering local history, these trails are made for you.

The Bridgtown Tales Trail

The Bridgtown Tales Trail is a magical mix of history, imagination and art — and it’s all been created right here in the community. Local schoolchildren worked alongside professional collage artist Ruth Allen to bring Bridgtown’s hidden stories to life. Their colourful collage creations inspired the bright characters and playful scenes you’ll find along the trail.

And the magic doesn’t stop there! Local wordsmith Pep the Poet added his special touch, writing original poems and audio scripts that turn each stop into a storytelling adventure.

All you need to do is follow the trail, scan the QR codes, watch the animations and listen to the rhymes. Each stop unlocks a new surprise — and a step closer to earning your special reward!

Bridgtown Hear Our Heritage Trail

If you love real stories and local voices, the Bridgtown Hear Our Heritage Trail is for you. This unique trail invites you to step back in time and listen to memories, moments and fascinating facts from Bridgtown’s past.

Scan each QR code to hear short audio stories that shine a light on local people and places — from bustling factories to family tales passed down through generations. It’s a wonderful way to discover more about the place you live, all while staying active and curious.
