Action and adventure in the heart of Cannock Chase.

Cannock Chase Forest at Birches Valley is an excellent starting point for an exhilarating woodland adventure on Cannock Chase. From the Midland’s best mountain bike trails or leisurely woodland walks, get the kids to let of some steam on one of the adventure play areas or take in the scenery up high from the platforms of Go Ape, Cannock Chase Forest has something for all the family.

A particularly popular location for Mountain biking, Follow the Dog, The Monkey Trail and Stile Cop bike park offer the thrill-seekers the perfect routes to hone their off road biking ability. If you have just purchased your first bike or you have a wobbly youngster mastering their balance bike, take the whole family on one of the family adventure routes.

For those looking for something more sedate, the woodland is a secluded haven for wildlife enthusiasts or discover the latest children’s activity trail, usually based around a popular children’s novel and once all the fun is done, make sure you stop by Grounds Café for a refuel.

Go Ape has 35 unique locations nationwide from Dartmoor to Aberdeen and 11 unique adventures just waiting to be experienced. COVID-19 safety measures, including hand washing stations, face coverings and more, will be in place to keep you and your tiny monkeys safe during your Go Ape adventure.
