Cannock Chase

In the heart of the West Midlands, Cannock Chase is one of Staffordshire’s most loved places. Created for William the Conqueror as a hunting forest 1,000 years ago, it is packed with landscape, nature and heritage waiting to be discovered. There are old oak woodlands, shady pine forests, historic parklands, viewpoints, rivers and canals to enjoy. The heathlands are the most extensive in the Midlands and a stronghold for endangered wildlife. The Chase can be explored by walkers of all abilities, all year round. There are short, family walks and a range of easy-to-follow trails from the visitor hubs / centres. For the more energetic, there are a number of long-distance trails. From children taking their first trip out on their bike, through to cross-country mountain bikers wanting to test their skills, Cannock Chase Forest offers great opportunities for cycling on purpose-built trails. The network of bridleways also offers some of the most extensive and picturesque horse riding in England. There really is something for everyone here with children’s play areas, the Gruffalo trail, Go Ape treetop adventure, Segway courses, orienteering and dog activity trails!
