Walks and country trails

The Newcastle Way is a long distance walking route on public rights of way through the Borough of Newcastle under-Lyme.

A moderate circular countryside walk through the Churnet Valley, taking in woodland, river paths, hilltop views, and the villages of Oakamoor and Whiston.

Starting in Rugeley, this enjoyable walk passes several attractive ponds and an ancient oak tree.

This circular walk between the villages of Alton and Denstone is as rich in history as it is in natural beauty.

This lovely walk begins along the Trent and Mersey Canal where it is possible to see a wide variety of wildlife, in particular Kingfishers if you are lucky.

The Staffordshire Tolkien Trail is a Staffordshire Libraries walk - a series of three linked walks that cover over 30 miles of the Staffordshire Countryside on and around Cannock Chase.

From Timbersbrook this scenic walk follows the Staffordshire Way up and over The Cloud, where there are impressive views of Cheshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands.

This long-distance footpath was established by Staffordshire County Council to mark the Millennium.

The walk begins in the archetypal English village, Wheaton Aston, and goes across some of the finest farmland in the county.
