Overview

Come join us for an undulating walk in the magnificent Staffordshire country side. 

Starting from the Village Hall car park with a gentle climb up, across farm land towards JCB  (long trousers may be be advisable) take a stroll round the JCB lakes, then on through the  ancient town of Rocester, before climbing gently up and down again, ending with a meander along the banks of the river Dove before a final climb back up to the village of Ellastone and the CP. 

Approximately 9+ stiles (sorry lost count) in various states of repair.

Afternoon tea at the Denstone Hall Farm Shop.
