With waymarked walking and running trails, children's play areas, themed activity and orienteering trails, Go Ape high wires course, Grounds cafe with tasty hot and cold food and drinks, and a top class bike shop, Cannock Chase Cycle Centre, with cycles to hire as well as bikes and accessories to buy. But mountain biking is what many people know us for. Our single-track cross country mountain bike trails attract adrenaline junkies from far and wide, and our Pedal and Play bike trail is the perfect first off-road cycling experience for children aged 3+ just starting out on their bike. For those somewhere in between we have waymarked cycling trails that are perfect for exploring the forest and building your skills. Cannock Chase Forest is managed by Forestry England. For over 100 years, we have been growing, shaping and caring for over 1,500 of our nation’s forests for the benefit and enjoyment of all, for this generation and the next. With your help and support, we care for more land and trees than any other organisation in England. Shaping landscapes for people, wildlife and timber.

Looking after the nation's forests doesn't always involve trees.

At Cannock Chase Forest, clearer pedestrian and cycle routes have been added alongside our staff driveway, helping keep people safely separated from vehicles. With foresters, ecologists, planners, rangers and many others using the driveway throughout the day, it's a simple change that's making a big difference. 🚶🚲

🎄 After many years of festive trading, Christmas tree sales at Cannock Chase Forest will not be returning this year.

As a largely self-funded organisation, these sales once made an important contribution to the income that helps us care for the nation's forests. However, as returns declined and commercial pressures increased, they were no longer financially viable.

This Christmas, visitors can still enjoy our festive Room on the Broom trail, seasonal treats from Grounds Cafe and plenty of frosty forest walks and bike rides.
