This cycleway runs along the eastern side of the lake, offering lovely views of the reservoir and country park. It’s a great spot to take a break, refuel, or enjoy a picnic.

Brindley Heath is a large expanse of woodland and open space on the edge of Cannock Chase. The area has remains of the disused coal mines, interesting wildlife and a rare hybrid bilberry, which grows in high concentration here.

Primarily served as a training facility during and after World War II. Closed in 1959, the base is no longer operational and has since been repurposed for civilian use.

A former colliery railway, now a heritage railway running round the shores of Chasewater. Chasewater Heaths station facilities include a cafe and a rebuilt signal box.

Lots of restored trains and carriages, museum, small shop and cafe. Lovely place to see old steam engines close up!

Plenty of parking at the visitor centre, a great park for the kids, pretty views, watersports, crazy golf, steam engines and museum just up the road from the car park... lots to do here on a sunny day! Lots of the tracks around the reservoir can be boggy even in summer so good waterproof footwear is a must if you intend to walk the whole way round! 😊
