Stile Cop car park offers mountain bikers access to nearby trails by the daytime and is a great spot to view the dark starry skies by night. The car park is surrounded by trees, affecting views towards the horizons; however, the trees also block surrounding light pollution, leaving excellent views of the skies above Cannock Chase AONB.
