Mellow, flowing waymarked trails that are perfect for beginner to intermedia­te riders, plus some short, sharp downhill tracks

RAD…

Cannock is easily accessible from Birmingham and beyond, making it a great option for a quick blast in the woods … or go for the whole lot – ride Follow the Dog, the Monkey Trail and a few runs at Stile Cop for a big day out

BAD…

Lack of altitude means the descents are fairly flat and generally short On the Cannock side, there’s limited terrain to challenge experience­d riders
