Parish Walks

We have assisted Parish Councils, Community Groups and the Ramblers Association to produce walks leaflets throughout Staffordshire. Together with leaflets produced by District and Borough Councils there are many further opportunities to explore the Staffordshire Countryside.

 A leaflet containing Parish contact details is available. Please click here to download a copy

Countryside Stewardship Public Access

Under Countryside Stewardship payments are made to farmers and other land managers to enhance and conserve English landscapes, their wildlife and history and to help people to enjoy them. The scheme is run by the Department for Farming and Rural Affairs and is the Government's main scheme for the wider countryside. It aims, through the payment of grants, to improve the natural beauty and diversity of the countryside, enhance, restore and recreate targeted landscapes, their wildlife habitats and historical features, and to improve opportunities for public access.

Farmers and land managers enter 10-year agreements to manage land in an environmentally beneficial way in return for annual payments. Access to land under the scheme is agreed. Click here to find a conservation walk near you.
