You’re Missing Out if You Don’t Ride This! | Cannock Chase MTB – Follow the Dog + XC

Описание: 🚴 Cannock Chase MTB Review – Fast Flow, Tech & Wildlife Encounters on Follow the Dog Trail

Join me for a full ride and honest review of the Follow the Dog trail at Cannock Chase Trail Centre – one of the UK’s most iconic red routes. This trail offers a great mix of flow, punchy climbs, and technical features — but it’s not without a few quirks.

🔍 While the route is well thought out and a lot of fun, there are some route-finding issues on the red trail where signage isn’t always clear. It’s something to be aware of, but once you find the right lines, it’s a rewarding and enjoyable ride from start to finish.

🌲 What really sets this trail apart is how peaceful and immersive it feels — easily the most tranquil trail centre I’ve ridden. With birdsong echoing through the woods and wildlife all around, I was lucky enough to spot two huge stags running right across the trail – a truly unforgettable moment!

💬 If you’re from the Midlands and this trail is on your doorstep — get out and get it done! Even riders from further afield will find plenty to love here. It’s a well-designed trail with a great atmosphere and solid MTB flow.

🌄 And it’s not just about the red route — Cannock Chase offers immense cross-country riding potential, with limitless possibilities for bigger loops, gravel exploration, and longer adventures across stunning forest landscapes.

📍 Highlights of this ride:

Fast, flowy red trail with fun technical features
Some unclear signage – be ready to navigate
Serene atmosphere with real forest immersion
Wildlife sightings – including two majestic stags!
Huge XC riding potential beyond the trail centre loop
