Overview

We leave Alton the Star C&CC site heading south through Cotton Dell to Oakamoor, where we join the Churnet Way to the Lords Bridge. We then follow Barbary Gutter to the Chained Oak, where we'll take a short coffee break. Next we travel across Farley Park towards Farley Hall and Longshaw before joining Ramshaw Lane and return to our starting point. The terrain through Cotton Dell can be slippery underfoot when wet; otherwise there are no significant obstacles. There can be livestock on Farley Park. 

Toilets available at the Caravan site.  

REGRET NO DOGS.
