Sherbrook Trail replaced by The Perry Trail
As part of Forestry England 2021 cycle trail improvement project, and to safeguard the fragile wildlife habitats, the Sherbrook cycling trail is no longer one of the Forestry England-managed trails from Cannock Chase Forest. Cannock Chase Forest was able to secure the funding needed to build a new bike trail called The Perry Trail. This exciting trail is now available aimed at moderate level cyclists, and located fully in Cannock Chase Forest which is an environment that is much more robust and suited to the numbers of cyclists previously seen on the Sherbrook trail.
