Known for
Cannock Chase AONB (one of England's smallest and most accessible Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the Chase cycling and mountain biking trails, the Go Ape adventure, the mining heritage, and a Staffordshire market town on the edge of exceptional countryside
A little history
Cannock grew as a coal mining town on the South Staffordshire coalfield. The mining heritage runs deep in the town's identity. Cannock Chase — the AONB on the town's doorstep — was a royal hunting forest and remains one of the most accessible wild landscapes in the Midlands.
Cannock Chase is genuinely excellent — the mountain biking trails are among the best in the Midlands, the walking is superb, and the fallow deer herds are extraordinary. Go Ape for the aerial adventure. The Chase is minutes from the town centre.
