Apedale Country Park is a lovely 454 acre country park near Newcastle-under-Lyme. The park used to be an opencast mine and has been turned into a varied landscape of woodland and meadows.

The paths are a reasonably solid mixture of gravel and tarmac and the route is a bit hilly in places.

Apedale is the newest country park is Staffordshire and provides a habitat for a wide variety of wildlife.

This second route option is basically an extension of the first route and it explores more of the park for those of you that have a bit more time.

As with the first route, it's a little bit hilly at times and the paths are a mixture of tarmac and compressed gravel.
