Overview

Starting at Deep Hayes Country Park, the walk follows the Staffordshire Way along Caldon Canal to Cheddleton before climbing out of the valley to a viewpoint at Tompkin. The route then follows an old trackway down towards Stanley Pool and Stanley Village before crossing the high ground once more to return to the canal near Hazelhurst Aqueduct.
