Nice place for a short walk in the countryside. Parking is limited but not usually busy so it's not a problem.

Lovely place, nice and quiet unlike Cannock Chase which seems to have recently attracted the entire population of Staffordshire...

A lovely open heathland with well-marked trails of different length/ability. Small parking spot next to Windmill pub.

Great place for a stunning lovely walk . Me in person won't take dogs off lead so the wild life can live

Looks amazing in the summer. Walks around here take at least half an hour and you get a good view of the surrounding hills, farms and houses. A huge shame about the pylons ruining the view though.

If you use Google maps to get here then you will arrive at the Chorley Rd entrance, where there are a couple of lay-bys for parking.

It's quite a steep walk up the hill and despite the pylons and the houses and the pylons the place has a real ancient feel to it, almost eerie. It's very quiet with almost no sound of any wildlife, you almost want to whisper.

At the top of the hill things get a lot more greener and there are marked paths to explore.

Well worth a visit

Lovely walk. Great little spots to find and explore. Some nice scenery, lots of footpaths and routes to take. Parking available.
