Consall Lime Kilns

Highlight • Monument

A pretty little stretch of the canal nestled between woods on either side.

A fantastic detour from the towpath.

A very clear single track that loops back to Caldon Canal.

It's definitely worth the extra mile!

A very happily situated pub near to the lime kilns.

Inside it has an open log fire (always a plus!).

We didn't try the food but when we finally got near to the bar (it is very popular and maybe a little understaffed?) next to the ales were samples of each.

Outside are plenty of benches you can rest on and watch the steam trains pass by or just to take in the tranquil surroundings of the Churnet Valley and the Caldon Canal.

The timber walkway beneath was replaced last year too.

It has been done to a fantastic standard.

It is heartening to see these glorious canals maintained so well for the current and future enjoyment of hikers and bikers.

Consall Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

A beautiful, sprawling mixed woodland with a proud industrial heritage, Consall Nature Park is a lovely place for a walk. The River Churnet and Caldon Canal wind through its heart and trails splay off to explore the semi-natural woodland.

The majority of the area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and the park’s primary focus is on conservation, rather than recreation. However, the public are welcome to come and enjoy the superb walking, fishing and picnic facilities.

The park’s secluded location and its diverse habitats make it a haven for a number of mammals and plethora of butterfly species, including the green hairstreak and the small pearl bordered fritillary.

Made by the railway company to make space for the railway line.

It was made using recycled materials and on some of the posts you can see grooves from the horse tow ropes.

Cherryeye Bridge No. 53

Highlight • Bridge

The gothic arch of Cherry Eye Bridge is a splendid sight, but it is its name that gives a hint to this now tranquil region's industrial past. It is named after the red eye that the 18th-century iron workers suffered from dust particles thrown into the air by the various industrial processes.

In its 1730 heyday, the Churnet Valley's works produced an annual 150,000 tonnes of ironstone. The Consall Nature Park is full of vestiges from this booming era.
