Angling is well catered for in Brewood and good fishing is obtainable in the local rivers, canals, some pools, and also in the neighbouring reservoirs. Hunting and shooting are also readily available. The Shropshire Union Canal runs through Brewood and is extensively used by pleasure craft. There is a wharf at Brewood.

Walking is another leisure pastime well catered for with many scenic walks to be enjoyed, including part of the noted Staffordshire Way, which runs through the Chillington Estate.

These are detailed on a definitive map which is available for inspection at the Parish Council offices.

The South Staffordshire Council has put forward a proposal to designate the Barnfield Sandbeds in Brewood as a nature reserve. The Wildlife Trust is supporting the project which is welcomed by the Parish Council and the community.
