Rough grazing covers the slopes of the valley as it opens out on to the plain of the River Trent. The cooling towers of Rugeley B Power Station dominate views from the eastern side of Cannock Chase. Collieries about the Chase supplied the coal. Less impressive since the cooling towers of the adjacent Rugeley A station were demolished.
