Springslade Lodge : www.springsladelodge.co.uk A bike friendly Tea Rooms with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and the food good. A great location to start a mountain bike ride on Cannock Chase trails or to visit when riding on the trails and tracks north of Follow the Dog. Hot and cold food and drinks available. Great Bacon Sandwiches and Apple Pie! Yummy! Situated on the road close to the Katyn Memorial, well worth the diversion out of Sherbrook Valley to get refreshed and have a rest. After you are filled don’t drop back into the valley but find the network of bridleways that keep you on Brocton Fields the views over the heath to North Staffordshire are stunning and the final drop through Brocton Ancient Oaks keeps you on your toes.
