The Staffordshire Way
The Staffordshire Way spans the length of the county for 92 miles from Mow Cop to Kinver Edge. The route is based on public rights of way or paths on which access has been granted.
The Staffordshire Way was fully surveyed last autumn. The goal is to invest £1 million to restore and relaunch the route as part of a countryside improvement project.
This will make the trail and its twelve circular walks easier to use and more enjoyable. It will encourage people to be active and explore nature.
Improving the route will help attract tourists, support local businesses, and offer a scenic trail for everyone to enjoy.
There are several waymarked routes on the Staffordshire Way:
- Abbots Bromley and Bagots Park
- Acton Trussell and Bednall
- Bobbington, Six Ashes and Highgate Common
- Cannock Chase
- Codsall to Chillington Hall
- Deep Hayes
- Newcastle Way
- Oakamoor and Whiston
- Rugeley to Colton
- Saltersford Lane
- Shugborough Hall
- Timbersbrook to Rushton Spencer
- Wheaton Aston to Lapley
