Overview

A circular walk meandering around the Brindley Heath area of Cannock Chase generally on good paths but inevitably a bit of mud at this time of year. 

As is usual on the chase there will be a few ups and downs. No stiles.

Would guest walkers please contact the leader so we can look out for you.

We are sorry, but only assistance dogs are permitted on our walks.
