Holiday Cannock Chase May 2024

Walking Holiday on Cannock Chase

This year, the Weston Walking Group’s Walking Holiday is based in the lovely

Area of Outstanding Beauty of Cannock Chase, a lesser-known area near Stafford and north of Birmingham.

We travel up to Stafford via Lichfield where we will take a break. We will have

a 90 minute optional guided tour around this beautiful city, the birthplace of

Samuel Johnson. This will be followed with a Cream Tea at The George Hotel.

There is also the opportunity to visit the cathedral with three spires.

Three day’s walking in Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural

Beauty. Walks will be varied and will be led by a local resident and will include

many local sites of interest and historical importance.

Return home, with the option of visiting the National Memorial Arboretum at

Alrewas south of Burton on Trent.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn, Stafford, which is about ten minutes’ drive

from the centre of Stafford and not far from the M6. Breakfast is included and

Evening Meals will be taken in the adjacent restaurant. Stafford is an

interesting town, with a castle which has a Medieval Herb Garden and a canal

to walk along. There is a free museum in the centre and an eclectic array of

shops and a market.
