    Hiking

    This is a popular beauty spot in the lovely Cannock Chase AONB. A series of stepping stones cross the pretty Sherbrook, which is lined with alders and huge tussock hedge grows. In summer, expect to queue to cross, as the stones are much loved by families.

    Hiking

    Originally called 'Hangmans stones' installed in 1954. The stones were originally from Stafford Prison where they formed the steps to the prison gatehouse where the condemned prisoners were hanged on the flat roof.
