Here is a list of Staffordshire Walks we have on the app so far…

Abbots Bromley
2.75 miles
This first route is a pleasant and simple stroll around the pretty village of Abbots Bromley and the open farmland immediately surrounding the village. There are some quiet country lane sections of walking on this route and there also are a number of nice pubs in the village for refreshments after or before your walk.

Abbots Bromley
3 miles
The second route is very similar to the first route in terms of distance and the scenery that you'll experience. However, this route heads straight out of the village and it then takes you on a loop through more open farmland to the south. You'll enjoy more peaceful countryside here than you would on the first route, but there is an 800m section walking along a quiet country lane at the bottom of the loop to be aware of.

Abbots Bromley
3.5 miles
This fourth route option is again very similar to the first two routes in that enjoys the pretty village and then a loop of walking that takes you out into the peaceful open farmland surrounding the village. This route is a bit longer and heads northeast out of the village, so there's something different for you if you've tried the other routes, but be aware that there is a 800m section of walking along a quiet country lane on this option, so please be aware and careful on this section.

Abbots Bromley
9 miles
This final route is basically a very long walk that combines all of the other routes together to create an epic adventure of exploration around the village of Abbots Bromley and it's surrounding countryside. As with some of the other routes, there are some sections of walking along quiet country lanes, so please be careful on these sections of this walk. Additionally, as with all long walks on the app, please ensure you have fully charged your phone before you set off and only use the app when you really need to navigate (as looking at the route map constantly uses more GPS battery). Ideally, take alternative navigation with you on the longer walks.

Alton
2.75 miles
This first option is a short circular loop starts at Alton Village hall car park and takes you into Alton village and then out to open fields and farmland. The walk crosses the river Churnet and proceeds on to the Old Railway line which is now a pretty track, after crossing the River Churnet again and passing through Crump Wood, the route takes you back over the river and fields towards Alton. There are pubs and refreshments in Alton.

Our final option from Alton is a scenic circular walk that starts at Alton Village Hall car park and takes you through the village of Alton onto the open fields, farmland and meadows that cross the River Churnet. The walk takes you to Crumpwood Weir and along the lanes and fields until you reach the B5032. This is a fairly busy road and you do have to walk along it without footpaths to join up with the Staffordshire Way footpath after the Old Railway bridge. This leads you to Saltersford Lane which is an ancient trackway. Follow this pretty track back to the start of the walk at Alton. There are some moderate gradients during the walk but plenty of pubs and refreshments in Alton.

Baggeridge Park
0.5 miles
This first route option is a very short walk around the pretty Baggeridge Park that is situated on the site of the old Baggeridge colliery. This first option is designated on the park as an 'Easy Access' trail which means it was designed with solid and flat paths in mind, making it perfect for wheels.

Baggeridge Park
1.75 miles
This third route option is basically an extension to the second route 'Baggeridge Circular Walk' that still enjoys the woodland and meadows of the park, but it then also takes you on a climb to the 'toposcope' which is the summit of a hill in the park where you can be rewarded with some lovely views.

Baggeridge Park
2.5 miles
The fourth option is a longer adventure in and around the Baggeridge Park. It still enjoys the woodland, meadows, pond and views around the park that you'll experience in the third route, but this option gets a bit more 'wild' as it also heads out of the park into some open countryside and for a long walk through Baggeridge Wood.

Baggeridge Park
6.75 miles
This final walk is the longest route from Baggeridge Park and as well as enjoying a walk through the park itself (as with the other routes), it then takes you on a varied adventure out into the surrounding countryside.

You will also pass by the magnificent Himley Hall and enjoy some of it's 180 acres of parkland. Finally, you'll enjoy some open fields and the pretty Wom Brook near Wombourne. There is a short section of road walking alongside a busy road (with a footpath) and you do also have to cross the busy A449 road at one point, so please be very careful here. Apart from that though, the scenery during the rest of the walk is more than worth it. Finally, there is a little detour along the road in Himley that takes you to a choice of two pubs if you want to make this a pub walk day out.

Barton Marina
1.5 miles

You will then follow the scenic towpath all the way down to Lower Hattons Bridge, after which you will loop all the way back to the start point through peaceful open countryside. There is a very short section of walking along a busy road on the that part of the route to tackle, but there is a big verge to walk on safely.

Brewood

The final route option is basically a combination of the first two routes put together to create a lovely long and varied walk that enjoys a long stretch of the wonderful canal, some peaceful open countyside and a visit to the market town of Brewood.

This second walk option is a lovely varied circular walk starting from the Brocton Coppice car park which takes you down into Sherbrook Valley woodland. As you wander beside the pretty Sher Brook, you can enjoy the wonderful stream, stepping stones and natural surroundings before climbing back up Coppice hill with it's pretty heathland and back to the car park.

Brocton
5.25 miles
This final route is a longer, more varied and more strenuous version of the second walk option.

Castle Ring
3.75 miles

You will follow the pretty lane downhill, away from the pub until you see the footpath sign. This walk then takes you across fields until you reach the track that goes past the Danebridge Fisheries, where you can stop and feed the fish! The route continues across fields and woodland, following the shape of the River Dane until you head away from the river across open countryside with some beautiful views before returning to the start.

Danebridge
3.75 miles
This second route is basically an extension to the first route if you have more time and want to stretch your legs a bit more! It'll still enjoy the same beautiful countryside as the first route, but it also takes you on a much longer walk along the Dane Valley Way and alongside the river Dane.

Danebridge
4.75 miles
This final route heads in the opposite direction to the other two routes, and if you head clockwise it will take you along tracks that follow the River Dane, through woodland and pretty open countryside. It then leads you back and over the Back Forest Ridge where you can visit Luds Church, a deep rock cleft and the hanging stone which are layers of rock overhanging the hill.

Dimmingdale Valley
4.25 miles
This is our longest walk from Dimmingsdale car park which will allow you to enjoy much of the beauty of the shorter walks but also includes walking along leafy country lanes and the River Churnet.

Please be careful on this section.

Dovedale
0.75 miles
This first route option is a simple stroll up and down either side of the wonderful River Dove, with a little stepping stone bridge to enjoy half way around. This option is for those of you that don't have too much time but still want to enjoy the wonderful scenery that this site offers. Heading from the car park, the left side of the river is flat hard surface and suitable for wheels, but the other side on the way back is too bumpy, so if you have a wheelchair or buggy, take the path on the left side of the river there and back instead.

Dovedale
1.25 miles
In stark contrast to the first casual route option, this second short walk option is for the adventurous amongst you! It is basically a very steep climb up to the ridge of the Thorpe Cloud, which actually requires a bit of scrambling at the top, and it rewards you with some breathtaking panoramic views of the entire area. Please be very careful on all aspects of this route as there are dangerous drops, and make sure you have the appropriate clothing and good weather conditions when you go up.

Dovedale
3 miles
This third beautiful walk is an alternative to the main and popular Dove Dale routes, but it's still a wonderful adventure in this lovely area. If you head clockwise, the walk heads along the main River Dove initially, where you can enjoy the river and then cross the picturesque stepping stones. Then, instead of heading deeeper into the Dove Dale, it continues around the base of the majestic Thorpe Cloud hill and then through countryside onto the village of Thorpe. The walk consists of woodland, open fields and the scenic River Dove. There is a little section of road walking on a quiet lane, some mild hills to climb at times, and the option of refreshments at the cafe near the start.

Dovedale
4.25 miles
This fourth route option is a beautiful but very strenuous and adventurous walk that heads a lot deeper into the Dove Dale valley. If you head clockwise, you'll first enjoy a long walk through lovely countryside and around the base of Bunster Hill. There is an optional shortcut marked on the map where you can scramble over the top of this hill, but this isn't for the faint hearted! You don't get off scott free though as eventually, you'll start climbing a very steep hill anyway and then after a while you'll cut into the woods and descend a very steep woodland path until you reach the iconic Ilam's Rock and then head back to the start along the picturesque River Dove Path.

Dovedale
6.25 miles
This fifth option is basically the glory walk of Dove Dale valley and takes you all the way along the river and through the majestic valley until you reach the little village of Milldale. After a little explore of the village, you'll then head back on the other side of the river, joining up with the path you used on the way there after a while. There will be plenty of photo opportunities as you walk within this beautiful scenery and you'll visit the Dove Holes, the intriguing Ilam Rock, Lovers Leap and the iconic stepping stones as you go.

Dovedale
7.25 miles
This final route is the equivalent of going off-piste on your favourite ski resort! If you head clockwise, the first half of the walk takes you along the beautiful, but well-trodden River Dove path through the valley as in the fifth route. However, once you've reached the village of Milldale, the return leg of the walk then heads off the main track into the majestic open access hills to the east of Dove Dale. You'll enjoy wonderful views all along this route, but please be careful on the hills and make sure you go prepared with the appropriate clothing and refreshments.

Not one but two separate canals to wander along and there is also a nice pub and cafe beside the canal for well deserved refreshments after your walk.

On this route you will also walk through open countryside and Fradley village, please note that there is some road walking on this route.

Hanbury
1.75 miles
This first option is a short circular walk that takes you past the Fault Crater Monument. On this walk, you can actually see the fascinating crater that was created when an underground store for highly explosive bombs exploded in 1944 causing a farm to be obliterated, a reservoir to be completely destroyed and around seventy people to lose their lives. The walk first takes you through fields and then turns in to walk along the edge of the crater (do not try to venture into the crater itself, as there are warnings of potential unexploded bombs!). It then loops back to the beginning of the walk through more open farmland. The pub at the start of the walk offers parking for customers, so if you park here please pop in for some refreshments after or before your walk.

Hanbury
2.75 miles
This second option is a pretty walking loop that takes you in the opposite direction to the first walk, strolling through the village of Hanbury itself and then onto towards the village of Draycott in the Clay via pretty countryside. If you head anticlockwise, you will pass the beautiful church of St Werburgh and cross open fields with scenic views. There is then a stretch of walking along a quiet country lane before the return route then takes you through some meadows and over a stream, passing Greaves Wood which is part of the Needwood Forest.

5.75 miles
This final route option takes you over fields towards Browns Coppice. From here you can take a little detour to see the Fauld Crater explained above in walk 1. (Do not enter the danger zone!) Once you have completed the crater detour, the route then continues onwards taking you through Queens Purse Wood and across fields towards Tutbury. There is a short stretch of road here on Fauld lane which you need to walk along before meeting up with the route which proceeds over fields, skirting the River Dove and the remains of Tutbury castle before heading back across scenic open countryside. The pub at the start of the walk offers parking for customers, so if you park here please pop in for some refreshments after or before your walk.

Hanchurch Hills
2 miles
This first route option is a nice and simple circular walk that takes you through the Hanchurch Wood Plantation and along quiet country lanes surrounded by pretty open countryside. Some of these woods are made up of commercial conifer plantations and this offers you a peaceful and pretty woodland walk.

Hanchurch Hills
2.5 miles
This second walk option is a lovely route that heads in a different direction to the first walk. This one instead takes you around the peaceful woodlands of Harley Thorn where you can climb to higher ground and take in some panoramic views of the rolling pastures and arable fields.

Hanchurch Hills
3.5 miles
This third route option is basically an extension of the first route and if you head clockwise, it takes you through the Hanchurch Wood Plantation and along quiet country lanes surrounded by lovely open countryside. The extension then takes you past the Hanchurch pools where you can see marsh marigold and watercress growing and often you can see wild deer along this route. Please note that there is a significant section of walking along a quiet country lane on this route, so please be careful here. There is also short and steep climb towards the end of the route as you head back up through the woods to the start.

Hanchurch Hills
6 miles
This fourth route option is basically a figure of eight walk that combines the second and third together to create one long walk in this area of lovely peaceful woodland and countryside. As with the third route, there is a long section of walking along a quiet country lane on this walk, so please be careful here. There is also a steep and short climb back up the woods at one point if you are walking clockwise.

Hanchurch Hills
7.5 miles
The final route option on offer is basically a very long extension to the second route. So you still enjoy the woodland and views of the Harley Thorns woodland, but after that you head out on an epic adventure on public footpaths through mainly open farmland until you reach the village of Swynnerton. The main bonus from this extension is it adds a lovely country pub to the route in Swynnerton and you'll certainly work up an appetite with the extra distance walked. Please note, there is some quiet country lane walking on this route.

Hanley Park
1.5 miles
A nice family friendly stroll around Hanley Park which is in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent. It's a short and easy walk that takes past playgrounds and the pavillion, over the canal and around the lake. It's also on solid paths throughout, so it's a suitable walk for buggies and wheelchairs.

Hixon
4 miles
This first route from the village of Hixon is not the prettiest of walks, but it is one that is interesting if you are into military history. The walk basically takes you out of the village to the north and then on a loop around an old disused RAF airfield. The station, with it's now derelict runways, was operational in 1942 and sent many Wellington Bombers on night raids during the second world war. There is a nice pub opposite the car park for refreshments after your historical journey.

Hixon
4.5 miles
The second route is the prettier walk option from this location and it takes you out on a varied walking adventure in the countryside to the South of the village of Hixon. If you head clockwise it first takes you on a long and steadily uphill walk along a quiet county road called 'Egg Lane' that eventually develops into some rewarding views as you walk. You then loop around and stroll through some more lovely open countryside before eventually reaching the Trent & Mersey Canal for a bit of peaceful canalside walking before heading back along the roadside path back into the village. You do have to cross a busy road a couple of times on the route so please be careful here, and there is a pub opposite the car park for refreshments after your walk.

Hollinsclough
1.25 miles
This first route is a short but strenuous walk from the wonderful village of Hollinsclough. The glory walks are the longer route options we have on the app, but if you just want a short stroll with lovely views and some challenging hills for your exercise, then this option may be for you.

Hollinsclough
1.5 miles
This second route option is another short stroll from Hollinsclough, but this one heads east from the village. This option is the best choice for you if you do want to explore the wonderful landscapes around Hollinsclough, but don't actually want to tackle any of the very steep hills as the walk stays relatively flat.

Hollinsclough
4 miles
From here on in, the walks here get serious and this third option is our shortest route that takes you over the top of the majestic Chrome Hill. The climb to the top of the hill itself is quite a tough one, but you'll be rewarded with some wonderful views as you walk along the ridge. It doesn't stop there either with lots of ascents and descents as you walk around this wonderful loop. As with all significant hill walks, please ensure you have suitable clothing and refreshments for this adventure and always use your common sense when following the trails as phone GPS can sometimes be inaccurate.

Hollinsclough
4.5 miles
This fourth option is basically a simple extension to the third route option that still enjoys the majestic Chrome Hill and the outstanding scenery around the village. The main reason to select this route over the third route, is if you have a little bit more time. As with the third route, it is a strenuous walk over big and steep hills, so please ensure you have suitable clothing and refreshments for this adventure. Additionally, always use your common sense when following the trails as phone GPS can sometimes be inaccurate.

Hollinsclough
6.25 miles
This final route option is the one for you if you want a truly epic (and very strenuous) adventure in this wonderful part of Staffordshire. It of course contains the majestic climb over Chrome Hill, as this is one of the main reasons to walk here, but this route extends the loop even further to enjoy even more of this wonderful countryside. This walk is extremely hilly and strenuous, so please go prepared with suitable clothing and refreshments and especially when up in the hills, use your common sense when following paths as phone's GPS can sometimes be inaccurate.

Hulme End
2.5 miles
Hulme End is a small hamlet in Staffordshire that gives you easy access to the beautiful Manifold valley. This first walk follows the route of the Manifold River along the valley and loops back through the countryside and along pretty lanes.

Hulme End
3.75 miles
The second walk from Hulme End is an extension of the first for those who want to explore the Manifold Valley further.
