Bench With a View of Consall Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

This location takes one's breath away.

Make sure you avail yourself of this considerately placed seat.

Heron Pool

Highlight • Lake

Just below the Visitor Centre. It seems popular with fishermen as well as the reputed herons.

Tip by

Podmore Bridge (London Works Bridge, 50B)

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Crowgutter Loop, Consall Woods

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the Consall woods.

It is unique in that it is home to an old industrial waterfall and The Devil's Staircase.

Tip by

3.75 km

Black Lion Pub, Consall Forge

Highlight • Pub

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.

Devil's Staircase, Consall Woods

Highlight • Trail

The Devil's Staircase is situated in Consall Woods in Staffordshire. It consists of 200 thigh-burning steps that lead you through oak trees, wetlands and deep woods.
