Highlight • Trail

Beautiful route through open green countryside not too far from the village of Essington in South Staffordshire.

Esnes Quarry is an 18 acre disused sand and gravel quarry that has been transformed into a lake. It's a lovely place for a leisurely stroll and also boasts a huge stock of carp, so is popular amongst fishers.

April 19, 2025,The Monarchs Way Essington – Esnes Quarry loop from New Invention

We were heading over to Essington Farm today, so we decided to do a walk in the area. Some lovely parts to this walk and really nice to try somewhere new as ever 🙏
