Starting at Slitting Mill and working your way up through the Monkey Trail mountain bike trail but being mainly clear of any bikes.
The route takes you across the road to the general direction of Castle Ring, where you can enjoy the views from the top and then head back to Horsepasture Pools and up towards Stile Cop.
From here it's a simple and easy stroll back down a fire road to Slitting Mill.
A good walk with good gain in elevation for Cannock Chase
