Countryside

Where else can you find a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a forest in the making?

Where else can you dangle by your fingers from a cliff face, pilot a narrowboat on a sleepy canal, or get up close to friendly, free-roaming forest monkeys?

Discover the great outdoors and the amazing countryside in Staffordshire - from the towering gritstone crags of the Staffordshire Peak District, to the unspoilt ancient heather heathland of Cannock Chase to the peaceful, leafy woodlands of the National Forest to the open country parkland and secluded byways of South Staffordshire.

For walkers and lovers of the great outdoors, Staffordshire is as good as it gets for outdoor days out and more!

Whether it's simply an active day or a longer walking break you'll be sure to find something to excite you, with Staffordshire's motivational landscape at hand there's no excuse for sitting around, so get your boots on and put your best foot forward!

There's so much to choose from, you're guaranteed an action packed activity holiday - want Staffordshire walks? There's everything from easy family walks to challenging mountain hikes and beautiful National Forest walks.

Staffordshire has some great terrain for cycling - ‘Follow the Dog' mountain biking across Cannock Chase, discover the hidden Manifold Valley cycle track or hire bikes for the whole family and cycle the easy routes of the National Forest.

Have a go at pony trekking and explore Staffordshire's quiet lanes, bridleways and old pack horse trails. Enjoy some wonderful scenery while you soak up the peace and quiet.
