The Cannock Forest Plan covers 2684 hectares of coniferous and broadleaf woodlands and open land in Staffordshire in the West Midlands, between the towns of Stafford to the northwest, Cannock to the south and Rugeley to the east - Birmingham city centre is 20 miles to the south. Most of the forest is freehold as part of the public forest estate and is designated as Open Access land. Much of the woodland in the west and north eastern corner of the plan area is leased to the Forestry Commission however, and access in these areas is restricted to Public Rights of Way. The area covered by the plan lies within the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the majority is made up of conifers planted for timber production. There are also areas of ancient woodland, wetland, wood pasture and open heathland within the forest. Adjacent lowland heath is internationally important and is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).There are two Local Nature Reserves bordering the woods as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Fairoak Valley. There are many archaeological features within the AONB and the forest has a long history of hunting, grazing and mining. Evidence of more recent military training includes a first world war model trench system at Brocton, which is a Scheduled Monument.

A really nice place to come for a stroll or a picnic, the Gruffalo Trail is great - it's free, there's an interactive app to download (also free) and you can buy an activity pack for 3 from the lodge.
