Hanchurch Woods. Does anyone ride there? Apparently not.

Yep.
When I were a lad the only section there was public access to was a small area to the south of the road (by the Water Tower). It's sand and gravel as far as I can remember, similar to Cannock, but not particularly extensive.
As an aside, I believe the first major motorway pile-up in heavy fog (Nov 5th 196?) occured under that pedestrian bridge giving access to Trentham Gardens, and I was there!

Seems to be well worth a trip.

I've popped down Hanchurch a few times, no idea where I'm going when I get there. We now go down most nights, sometimes in the woods sometimes around the quiet roads.
There is a XC circuit around the perimeter I believe. There's enough single tracks to spend an hour or two, and across the road into Swynnerton woodland too. Plenty of ups n down. There is a small DH route with a jump at the end.
It gets quite popular in an evening, I've seen groups of 20+, and some expensive bikes too. With the dark night coming there's quite a few night riders with staium floodlights strapped to their bikes, looks like fun.
There's some YouTube vids at Hanchurch as well as Trenham park (The woods around the commercial Trentham Gardens).
