Cannock Chase: Deer, the Follow the Dog Trail and the War Cemeteries
325 XP
Cannock Chase National Landscape is the smallest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in mainland Britain, open heath where fallow deer graze. Mountain bikers ride the Follow the Dog trail from Birches Valley, and on the Chase are two war cemeteries: the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery and the German Military Cemetery, where nearly 5,000 German and Austrian dead of both world wars were brought together after 1959.
