Overview

From the High Street car park we cross the main road and take park and town roads to the north of Leek onto Mount Road from where we take country paths eastwards up to Morridge. From there we descend to the ford that is north of White Lees farm and then we follow the river bank into Onecote. Passing by the church we come back up to Morridge, then down past the wind turbines to the Ashbourne Road. We cross this and walk back to Leek via Egg Well and Ballingdon Grange farm.  

 

It was clear from the recce that several of the paths are infrequently walked, which is a good reason for walking them.  Some involve walking through uncut meadows of long grass.  About 25 stiles, most of which are fine but a few are awkward.
