We have a ticketless and cashless parking system that uses number plate recognition technology.
How does it work?:
1. On entry to the site the system records your number plate. 2. Pay at the paystation before you leave. Remember your registration number as you'll need to enter this. 3. Your number plate will be recognised on exit and the system will know you have paid.
Disabled parking available – normal parking charges apply.

Thank you for paying to park. We use the money you spend on parking to look after the nation’s forests. We don’t make a profit and rely on the support of our visitors and members, so every penny you spend is invested by Forestry England back into the management of our woodlands and is needed to make Cannock Chase Forest a great place for a day out.

Located north-west of Leicester, discover Sence Valley’s history. Once part of a large coal mine that closed in 1996, Forestry England planted 98,000 trees in 1998, transforming the valley into a haven for wildlife and visitors. In 2018 a further 48 hectares (102 acres) of the original opencast was acquired which has now been planted with 100,000 trees which will develop into a mature woodland.
