Cannock Chase is a designated National landscape and covers an area of 30.5 square miles. Walkways and cycle tracks cover a large area with a visitor centre and cafes. In 1964 a cemetery (Soldatenfriedhof) was chosen to bury the vast majority of German servicemen who died in Britain during both world wars. This was because the landscape was very similar to vast areas of Germany. Shugborough hall is a National Trust Georgian mansion within a walled Garden.
