Ultimate Mountain Bike Trail In Cannock
Specialist local contractors have moved into the Forestry Commission's Cannock Forest near Rugeley in Staffordshire this week, to start work on the region's newest and biggest purpose built mountain bike trail. The new bike trail is part of a 200,000GBP project to improve the visitor facilities at Cannock Forest and will involve developing eight kilometres of newsingle track, plus some new look features added to existing routes. Cross-country, downhill and leisure trails will all benefit from the revamp. Cycle manufacturer, Giant UK, will be sponsoring the new trail at Cannock Chase over the next three years. The trail is being built by trail builders Clixby's, from Oakamoor in Staffordshire, who previously constructed singletrack mountain bike trails for the Forestry Commission
at Dalby forest in North Yorkshire, Whinlatter Forest in Cumbria and the new descent line at Stainburn, near Leeds.

Ironbridge Gorge Museum
The world's first cast iron bridge was built over the River Severn at Coalbrookdale in 1779. Not only iron founders and industrial spies flocked to
see this wondrous bridge, but also artists and travellers. The Bridge had a far reaching impact: on local society and the economy, on bridge design
and on the use of cast iron in building. The story of the bridge's conservation begins in 1784 with reports of cracks in the Southern abutments,
and is brought up to date with the English Heritage sponsored work of 1999.
