Designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1958, Cannock Chase is notable for its beautiful landscape, its wildlife and its history. Among its attributes, Cannock Chase has the largest surviving area of lowland heathland in the Midlands. Lowland heath is an internationally scarce and threatened wildlife habitat.

This scenic view highlights the attractive nature and features of the undulating lowland heathland on Cannock Chase. The view looks west over the Sherbrooke Valley and includes some of the many paths that cross the heathland. The well-known Glacial Boulder is located to the upper-left just over the horizon.
