Landywood is a village in the South Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England. Landywood is part of the South Staffordshire ward named "Great Wyrley Landywood",[1] It lies 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Bloxwich, 3 miles (4.8 km) south from Cannock and 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Walsall.
It forms part of Great Wyrley and is contiguous with Cheslyn Hay, Newtown and Little Wyrley. It is close to the border with the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall.[2]
The village is separated from Cannock to the north by the M6 Toll motorway, and the A5 road. It is served by Landywood railway station on the Chase Line, which runs from Birmingham via Walsall to Rugeley Trent Valley. National Express West Midlands bus service X51 provides a connection through Lower Landywood (Gorsey Lane, Holly Lane) to Cannock via the McArthurGlen Designer outlet as well as Walsall, Bloxwich, Great Barr and Birmingham. Chaserider bus service 71 links Upper Landywood with Cheslyn Hay, Cannock, Essington, Wednesfield, New Cross Hospital and Wolverhampton.
In 2022, plans were approved for a new housing development on the Landywood Lane green belt, despite objections and petitions against it from local residents. This estate will border Cheslyn Hay.[3][4]
