NOTE: Brocton Coppice is a fabulous area but please note the walk will involve some significant gradients and the going underfoot can be tricky at times. The weather may be unpredictable, the terrain might be wet and uneven in places – so wear suitable footwear and clothing!

Whenever we are walking on Cannock Chase we also need to be aware of ticks and other wildlife-related issues so please make yourself familiar with advice here and here prior to joining us.
