Perry's Trail, Cannock Chase

Highlight • Cycleway

The blue trail at Cannock is called Perry's Trail. It's fun and perfect for developing your riding skills without any features that require drops or jumps. Features on this trail include flowing single track and gentle berms, rollers, gradual climbs and rollable rock gardens.

Stegosaurus Section – Follow the Dog Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

When you see it, you'll understand how this trail section got its name! Large, angular rocks make up the path, with a tight corner to start before a flatter rock garden pedal. It's 'nadgery' and a techy challenge but a lot of fun when you get it right!

Fairoak Pools

Highlight • Lake

Just beautiful to watch the sunshine on the water. To sit in peace in the sunshine and take it all in.

Gravel path by the pools, Cannock Chase

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Take it easy and freewheel down this gentle descent past the pools as you're heading south-west to north-east. It's really gorgeous with the trees on your right and water to the left, and the smooth, wide gravel track doesn't hold any hidden surprises!
