Richards Reviews Cannock Chase

Today we visited Cannock Chase (The Chase) with our mountain bikes for an outdoor adventure. (21st June 2020)
The Chase was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on 16 September 1958 and is the smallest area so designated in mainland Britain, covering 26 square miles.
The Chase is popular with cross-country mountain bike users. The purpose-built XC 'Follow the Dog' trail 6.8 miles technically-challenging route, opened in 2005, starting and finishing at the Birches Valley Visitors/Cycle Centre. It is open to all; however, it is not recommended for beginners. A new section of XC trail was opened in April 2010. The 'Monkey Trail' 7.0 miles is a more technical trail that splits from 'Follow the Dog' at about the halfway point, then rejoins slightly further on.
