Staffordshire Way

Staffordshire Way

The Staffordshire Way is a long distance walk in Staffordshire, England. The path links with the Heart of England Way

The Route

The route runs for 147km/92 miles from Mow Cop Castle to Kinver traversing Staffordshire from north to south, setting out from gritstone hills on the edge of the Peak District southeast via Congleton, Leek, the Caldon Canal and the Churnet Valley to Uttoxeter. Here the route turns southwest via the Trent Valley, parkland at Shugborough Hall and Cannock Chase. From Penkridge it turns south, passing to the west of Wolverhampton through gentle pastoral scenery and parkland via Brewood to the dramatic sandstone ridge of Kinver Edge.

The Way was opened in three stages by Staffordshire County Council between 1977 and 1983, and was resurveyed and refurbished with the assistance of the Ramblers Association to mark the Association's 60th anniversary in 1995.

The 76km/47.5-mile section between Rushton Spencer and Cannock Chase is now part of European path E2.
