We're driving down from Derbyshire to Symonds Yat at the weekend complete with dog. Any suggestions for a dog-friendly stop not too far from the M6? We're thinking maybe Stafford sort of area, but either side of that might work as well.
Ideally reasonably quiet where he can have a 20-30 minute walk and with easy, preferably free, parking - Chat GPT seems to have a penchant for suggesting stately homes with grounds or pubs with large gardens, neither of which are of much use to us.
Any suggestions welcome.
Cannock Chase perhaps? Easily accessed from J13 or J12.
Just be aware parking at the two main signed visitor centres can't be described as 'cheap' necessarily, but at least you can get a coffee, have a wee, etc. Otherwise there's probably still a few places where you can pull off the road in unregulated laybys.
Edit - another idea is Sandwell Valley Country Park (M5, J1) a bit further south. Would that work?
