The Cannock Chase Heritage Trail is a signposted walk/cycle route running from Cannock town centre to Rugeley Trent Valley railway station. Passing Cannock railway station, The McArthur Glenn Retail outlet, Hednesford Town centre, Hednesford railway station, The Museum of Cannock Chase, Cannock Chase itself, including Marquis Drive Visitors Centre and Birches Valley Visitors Centre before Rugeley town centre. Some of the signage is a bit hit and miss nowadays especially through Cannock Chase, so we do go a bit wrong at times, so this is our version. I walked with my Son on September 18th 2021. We caught a train to Cannock, walked back into Cannock, then backtrack back to the station and then on to Rugeley Trent Valley, where we get a train home, we walked a little over 12 Miles in total, but that includes the back track, and veering off the main trail for the museum and Birches Valley, so you can make the walk smaller if you wish. If you are going to try this walk, please take a map,or use mine on our website as the signs have disappeared throughout most of Cannock Chase, there is also a website to accompany the walk, full of history at....
Please let us know how you get on if you do the walk or part of it.
