  • Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way
    Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way Introduction Staffordshire has a network of over 4000 kilometres of public footpaths and bridleways, which offer the single most important means of exploring every corner of the County. Whether you wish to explore Staffordshire by foot, cycle or on horseback, we hope that the information contained in these pages will help you and provide you with some ideas about the opportunities available to you. There are many opportunities for walking and riding in Staffordshire from long distance recreational routes such as the Staffordshire Way and the Way for the Millennium, the Heart of England Way and the Sabrina Way. There are many shorter, Country Trails and Promoted Routes, several of which are based around County Council Country Parks, Picnic Areas and Greenways. All of these are promoted by the County Council and are waymarked. Before starting off, you may wish to check whether there are any disruptions to the path network in your chosen area by checking if there are any Temporary Closures or Proposed Diversions. We are continually working, with Parish Councils, voluntary groups and local organisations, through the County Council's Community Paths Initiative to promote and develop such routes for your enjoyment. Generally speaking, the responsibility for keeping public paths open for public use is shared by the County Council, as highway authority, and landowners. The County Council is responsible for the surface maintenance of the paths and for dealing with unlawful obstructions. Landowners are responsible for keeping the paths free from obstruction. The County Council also ensures that all routes are legally protected on the definitive map.

Any improvements will have a positive outcome for all involved. Making the CCAONB a fantastic place to visit will, increase the prosperity of the local community and place CCAONB on the map as an innovative, forward thinking, local partnership and pave the way for future developments, whilst always protecting the local environment, beautiful landscape, history and wildlife. It will provide a life-long legacy for the people of Staffordshire and beyond. The Dementia Friendly Strategy (DFS) has been developed to complement the Cannock Chase Management Plan 2014-2019 to ensure the correct balance to conserve areas and yet enhance the positive experience for people to increase their wellbeing. Working on this strategy has already increased the awareness and understanding of people living with dementia and their families. It has strengthened partnership working and increased understanding of the differing needs of those organisations involved and opened up stronger communications and cooperation to work together on joint initiatives.
