Accessible visiting information

From Cannock Chase Visitor Centre
RAF Hednesford Trail provides one of our most accessible trails from the Cannock Chase Visitor Centre. A circular walk on level, well surfaced paths, 2 miles long and will take approximately an hour. The leaflet can be downloaded for the map and more information. There are interpretation panels and benches along the route to find out more about the training camps. The benches allow you to have a rest and enjoy the scenery and wildlife around you.

Trampers are available for hire from the Visitor Centre and can be used on the RAF Hednesford trail.
