Perry's Trail, Cannock Chase

Highlight • Cycleway

The blue trail at Cannock is called Perry's Trail. It's fun and perfect for developing your riding skills without any features that require drops or jumps. Features on this trail include flowing single track and gentle berms, rollers, gradual climbs and rollable rock gardens.

Stegosaurus Section – Follow the Dog Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

When you see it, you'll understand how this trail section got its name! Large, angular rocks make up the path, with a tight corner to start before a flatter rock garden pedal. It's 'nadgery' and a techy challenge but a lot of fun when you get it right!
