Silver Birch and conifers are common on the heathland of Cannock Chase. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1958 'the Chase' is the smallest AONB in Britain, covering just 26 square miles. It was renamed a a National Landscape in November 2023. However, Cannock Chase Country Park, covering a similar landscape, is one of the largest of its type covering over 1300 hectares. This image was made on the North Western tip of the AONB and is the home, like the rest of the Chase, to a large herd of Fallow Deer. The area was given IUCN Category V Protected status in 2013.
