Getting here

How to Get to Glanfar Meadows

Practical arrival guidance for camping at Green Lane Farm in Burntwood, with routes from Lichfield, Cannock and the wider Staffordshire area.

Destination

Green Lane Farm, Green Lane, Burntwood, Staffordshire WS7 9HB

Guests towing caravans or driving larger vehicles should use the main A-road approach to Burntwood and follow the final arrival instructions supplied with their booking. Do not accept a sat-nav shortcut through narrow rural lanes without checking it.

Get Directions

By car

The A5190 and A461 provide the main approaches through Burntwood. From the M6 Toll, use the Burntwood/Lichfield route that suits your direction of travel. Larger units should wait for Glanfar’s final approach notes rather than improvising the last mile.

By rail

Lichfield City is useful for local buses and taxi connections. Lichfield Trent Valley provides CrossCountry and West Coast Main Line links. Hednesford can suit Cannock Chase connections but has fewer onward options to Glanfar.

Check trains with West Midlands Railway

By bus

Services 60, 61 and 62 link parts of Burntwood with Lichfield, Cannock or Hednesford in different patterns. National Express West Midlands route 8 links Lichfield, Burntwood and Brownhills. Hunter Avenue or Farewell Lane may be the most useful nearby stop, subject to the confirmed safe route from the farm gate.

Walking and cycling

The Heart of England Way and the Green Lane rights-of-way network provide the strongest nearby walking links. The McClean Way/National Cycle Network Route 5 supports longer rides. The Lichfield–Chasewater Greenway is a destination route, not a campsite path.

Late arrivals

Tell Glanfar if you expect to arrive late, if your unit is unusually long or if roadworks affect Green Lane. Clear instructions are more useful than a heroic battle with a hedge in the dark.

Rural signal

Save the address and final approach notes before travelling. Mobile signal may vary, and ordinary bus services can be limited on Sundays, bank holidays and later evenings.

Plan the whole journey

Practical routes to Green Lane Farm

The campsite sits on Burntwood’s rural edge. The main part of the journey is straightforward; the final approach deserves more care if you are towing, driving a long vehicle or arriving after dark.

Main-road approaches

Arriving by car

M6 Toll

Leave at T6 for Burntwood and Brownhills, then use the A5195 and A5190 signed routes towards Burntwood and Lichfield. Follow the final booking directions for Green Lane.

M6 north or south

Use the A5 corridor from the Cannock and Burntwood junction area, then continue by the A5190 or A5195. Avoid untested shortcuts through narrow lanes.

A38 and Lichfield

Leave for Lichfield and Burntwood, then use the A5190 Burntwood bypass and local signed roads before joining the confirmed Green Lane approach.

Birmingham and Walsall

Use the A5, A461 and A5195 towards Brownhills and Burntwood according to live traffic. The M6 Toll can be quicker, but it is chargeable.

Towing or driving a larger unit: Use the final arrival instructions supplied with the booking. A sat-nav route that looks shorter can be a poor choice for a caravan, motorhome or long vehicle.

Active travel

Walking and cycling from the area

The Heart of England Way and the Green Lane public-rights-of-way network provide the strongest long-distance walking story close to the farm. The McClean Way and National Cycle Network Route 5 support longer rides towards Brownhills and Walsall.

The Lichfield–Chasewater Greenway is a 6.5-kilometre traffic-free destination route between Chasewater and Lichfield. It does not begin at the campsite, so guests must first reach an official access point.

Public footpaths, bridleways, cycle routes and permissive paths are not interchangeable. Cycling is not automatically legal on a public footpath, and rural surfaces can become muddy or difficult after rain.

Travel information reviewed against the Glanfar transport and attractions pack dated 6 August 2026. Services and road conditions must still be checked live before travel.
