Ancient Oak Woodland in Cannock Chase

Highlight • Natural Monument

Fantastic ancient oak trees which are so utterly different to the birch landscape around them. A pleasure to walk through in all seasons.

Easy walk from Coppice Hill car park, off the chase road in Brocton.

Sherbrook Stepping Stones

Highlight • River

This is a popular beauty spot in the lovely Cannock Chase AONB. A series of stepping stones cross the pretty Sherbrook, which is lined with alders and huge tussock hedge grows. In summer, expect to queue to cross, as the stones are much loved by families.

Glacial Boulder, Cannock Chase

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Glacial Boulder is a chunk of granite which travelled from Scotland to Staffordshire in an ice sheet during the last Ice Age. After being found in a pit in the 1950s, it was hauled atop a nearby hill to be displayed. After several incidents of people rolling the boulder down three different hills, it was finally cemented here.

The boulder often makes ‘worst attraction’ lists and has been compared to the Holy Stone of Clonrichert, a fictional relic in the comedy series, Father Ted. It is a popular meeting point for hikers and cyclists, though, and is right next to a convenient car park.
