Cannock Chase. The area has been designated as the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the smallest area so designated in mainland Britain, covering 68 km2 (26 sq mi). Despite being relatively small in area, the chase provides a remarkable range of landscape and wildlife, including a herd of around 800 fallow deer and a number of rare and endangered birds, including migrant nightjars. At its southern edge are the remains of Castle Ring, an Iron Age hill fort, which at 242 m / 794 ft is the highest point on the Chase. Several glacial erratic boulders are also found on the Chase, remnants of glaciation. One is mounted on a plinth. The Chase has several war memorials, including German and Commonwealth war cemeteries. The area gained notoriety in the late 1960s when the Cannock Chase murders made national headlines; the remains of three young girls were found on the Chase after going missing from areas along the A34 road between there and Birmingham. Raymond Leslie Morris, a motor engineer from Walsall, was found guilty at Stafford assizes of one of the murders in 1968 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in prison in March 2014, aged 84, after serving 45 years. Since the nineteenth century, sightings of Black Dogs, Werewolves, British big cats, UFOs, and Bigfoot have been seen.
