Heath Hayes and Wimblebury is a civil parish in the Cannock Chase District of Staffordshire, England. It comprises the once separate villages of Heath Hayes and Wimblebury, which following recent housing development have now become joined. It is one of the most affluent areas in the borough, being home to several good schools and being popular with commuters due to the excellent transport links - with both Cannock and Hednesford train stations nearby and also being close to the M6, M6 toll and A5. It has also seen the recent development of the McArthur Glen designer outlet West Midlands and is situated directly adjacent to Cannock Chase area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).

The population of the parish in 2011 was 14,085 and its area is 389.56 hectares (1.5041 sq mi).[1]

Due to recent housing development Heath Hayes has seen a significant increase in the local population.[2]

However whilst Wimblebury has seen some new housing the village is smaller and retains its picturesque nature, being still surrounded on three sides by plentiful green spaces / green belt - notably the Old Brickworks Nature Reserve,[3] the Hednesford Hills Nature Reserve[4] (which is an area of Special Scientific Interest), Wimblebury Mound (known locally as Cannel Mount)[5] and Bleak House Farm, with the village bordering the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

There are a number of good schools in the area and a wide range of leisure and retail facilities with the recently developed McArthur Glen Designer Outlet West Midlands. The parish is close to the A5 and M6 Toll roads. It is served by Cannock and Hednesford railway stations and also has bus connections to the towns.
