Cannock Chase SAC Visitor Survey. Unpublished report, Footprint Ecology. 3 Cannock Chase AONB Visitor Survey Summary This report sets out the results of a visitor survey undertaken at Cannock Chase between autumn 2010 and summer 2011. Visitor survey work involved counts of people entering/passing at the same locations (tally data); counts (‘snapshots’) of the number of cars parked at parking locations; and face-to-face interviews (1430 hours) conducted by volunteers and Local Authority staff at a range of survey points. The survey work and questionnaire was designed and implemented by the Local Authority/Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Most of the survey work was focused around the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) within the AONB. Tally Data Across all survey locations, visitor rate was 19 people per hour Birches Valley, Marquis Drive and Moors Gorse were the busiest sites Across all sites, 33% of visitors were walking, 26% dog walking, 24% cycling. There were significant differences in the proportions of users undertaking different activities at different survey locations: walkers made up a high proportion of visitors at Oldacre Lane; Moors Gorse accounted for the majority (93%) of cyclists and at Abraham’s Valley horse riders accounted for nearly a third (31%) of users. Weekends were significantly busier than weekdays There was no significant difference between visitor numbers at surveyed locations in the spring/summer and autumn/winter. In fact some autumn/winter weekend days appeared particularly busy, suggesting that access levels are relatively high throughout the year.
