Castle Ring Dog Walk

Castle Ring Dog Walk with My Best Friend Burntwood

A popular dog walking spot in the Cannock area around an ancient site. You will meet lots of other dogs here, of all shapes and sizes! The ramparts of the Iron Age Monument can be walked as a circuit, with other paths criss-crossing the central heathland area, and channeling walkers down into the ditches.

Further routes lead into the surrounding forest, making for a lovely varied walk.

The Postcode for the Car Park is WS15 4QZ. This is a 3 Mile, 1 and a half hour walk that may take a little longer according to fitness levels as is Hilly in places.

Waypoint 1 :

Head out of the Car park taking the left path around the Mound where the Roman Fort used to stand.

Waypoint 2 :

Take your first available path to the left through the trees and follow it downhill.

Waypoint 3 :

At the T Junction follow the Wide Gravel Path steeply downhill to the right.

Waypoint 4 :

At the Intersection at the bottom of the hill bear left further into Cannock Chase, following the track past a small pool and travelling slightly uphill.

Waypoint 5 :

Nearing the brow of the hill turn right at the next intersection through what can be a somewhat muddy section of track.

Waypoint 6 :

At the end of this section of track turn right at the next small pool following a gravel path.

Waypoint 7 :

At the next intersection of track take the right hand Gravel Path.

Waypoint 8 :

Keep to the right hand track avoiding the turning to the left.

Waypoint 9 :

At the next intersection of track bear left and you will recognise Waypoint 4. Head uphill and re trace your route back to the Car Park.

Keep your eye out for Deer on this walk, a real treat for those wildlife spotters!  Another Fantastic Walk whatever time of year especially so in the Spring Time. We hope you enjoy the Castle Ring Dog Walk.
