Cannock Chase, Protected natural area in Staffordshire, England.
The 68-square-kilometer area contains mixed deciduous woodlands, coniferous plantations, open heathland, and several small lakes spread across rolling hills.
German prisoners constructed a model World War I battlefield within Cannock Chase, which archaeologists have since excavated to study military training methods.
The Staffordshire Tolkien Trail connects three walking routes throughout Cannock Chase, marking locations that influenced the author's literary works.
The Birches Valley Forest Centre serves as a starting point for multiple cycling paths, including wheelchair-accessible routes and technical mountain biking trails.
A population of 800 fallow deer roams freely through the protected landscape, making it the largest managed herd in England.
