Overview

Up to the Staffordshire Moorlands on some new tracks and paths. We begin at Biddulph Grange Country Park. The walk takes us toward and along Congleton Edge, and then onto (up to) The Cloud. Fingers crossed the weather is good as the views on the top of The Cloud will reward our climb. We then start to (mainly) descend back towards Biddulph by way of the country park. The park site was originally part of the larger Biddulph Grange Estate with woodland, meadows and a large lake.
