For Casual riders
With somthing like this, the reviews will highly depend on the type of riding that someone does. If you were to ask an xc rider, they would probably say its good, but if you were to ask an enduro or downhill rider, then they will probably say its bad. I think cannock chase is good, but good for family, good for people wanting to rent a bike and learn, good for a father and son, but thats about it. There a good mix of trails for beginner and casual riders and would 100% reccomend anyone who fits in that bracket to go and ride at cannock. But for anyone else, you'll be disappointed. Parking is very expensive, but thats the same at all forestry owned bike parks now

One of the worst trail
Very poorly maintained trails ..
nothing tasking on any of the trails at all … I suppose it’s ok for a very basic trail center but doesn’t offer much in terms of skills required to complete any of the trails
What do you like?
Not alot very boring with nothing too challenging
What could be improved?
All of it tbh …. Carpark is a rip off also ..
a good jump
amd skills section .
Improve the maintenance

Nice trails, quiet pedally all together.
Not too technical so anyone with decent cardio and basic mtb skills should be able to complete red loop.
Black has a bit of additional parts that require a bit more skills but nothing crazy.
Would you recommend?
yes

Great day out, good for all abilities but possibly not for kids due to rock gardens e.g.
