What makes it special?
The National Landscape is also defined by its communities and those who visit it.
There is a wide range of local communities and interest groups who cherish and help care for the Chase and its designated status.
More than 50% of the Chase is accessible greenspace and a network of well-maintained rides and paths through woodland and heathland providing opportunities for stimulating exercise and exploration. Some 3 million visits are made to the Chase annually.
