Overview

This walk to Croxden Abbey starts from Denstone Village Hall car park. We follow the Staffordshire Way to Alton then cross several fields with some very steady ascents and descents to reach the impressive ruins of the Abbey. After leaving the Abbey, the walk continues across more fields and then through the grounds of Denstone College before descending back to the start.

Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader.

Please make sure you have an ICE (in Case of Emergency) card on you when out walking – you know it makes sense - if you don’t have one then ask the walk leader for one before the walk starts.
