Description:-
Follow the Dog 11km/7 miles

Cannock Chase’s original and much loved dedicated mountain bike trail. A technical singletrack mountain bike trail which includes technical trail features. Built and maintained by volunteer group Chase Trails, Follow the Dog is constantly evolving and
being improved. Current highlights include the ‘Stegosaurus Rock Garden’, ‘The oardwalk’ and ‘Tackeroo Blast’.

The Monkey Trail 24km/15 miles
(Distance includes Follow the Dog)

The Monkey Trail start is reached via the Follow the Dog Trail. More physically and technically demanding than Follow the Dog, this singletrack mountain bike trail contains technical trail features and several black options (all black options and
technical trail features rejoin the main trail). The Monkey Trail was built and
designed in partnership with Chase Trails and features technical rock
gardens, boardwalks, jumps and drops. The trail finishes with the awesome ‘Lower Cliff’ descent.
