About

Nestled within the 43‑acre expanse of Cannock Chase, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Cannock Chase Trekking Centre invites riders to experience the thrill of off‑road horse‑and‑pony trekking in a picturesque countryside setting. From gentle pony rides for children to exhilarating two‑hour treks for seasoned riders, the centre offers a diverse range of routes that showcase the woodlands, heathlands, and rolling hills of the Chase. The experienced team, led by owner Lisa Gregory, is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming environment for all ability levels, ensuring every participant feels confident and supported. The on‑site Ranch Bistro provides a cosy stop where trekkers can refuel with hearty meals, coffee, and local treats, turning a single trek into a memorable day out. With a fleet of 46 well‑trained horses and ponies, the centre caters to beginners, families, and adventure enthusiasts alike, offering both open‑air trails and a covered arena for inclement weather. Whether you’re a first‑time rider seeking gentle confidence‑building lessons or an experienced equestrian craving the challenge of a two‑hour mixed‑ability trek, Cannock Chase Trekking Centre delivers an authentic, scenic experience that unites the love of horses with the beauty of nature. The centre is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Wednesday through Sunday, and fosters a culture of inclusivity, friendly staff, and unforgettable treks.
