Staffordshire Walks
Loggerheads is a Staffordshire village close to the Shropshire border, with Market Drayton as its postal town. The Burnt Wood walk is a short two-mile circuit from the village, ideal when you want a gentle outing without committing to a long day.
The Loggerheads pub is a short detour from the start making this a nice pub walk. The route also returns through a neat estate where the roads carry bird names, including Woodpecker View, Pheasant Walk, Kestrel Drive and Partridge Ride.
The climbing is gentle throughout, and only a small part of the route runs through woodland.
Neighbouring Mucklestone is well worth knowing about too. It now lies within the parish of Loggerheads and has links with the Battle of Blore Heath. Use the Staffordshire Walks app to follow the route map on the ground, with the start point and parking details to hand.

Burnt Wood walk 01
A compact two-mile loop around Loggerheads in north Staffordshire, taking in mainly the woodland paths of Burnt Woods. The ground is mostly gentle, with only a modest rise along the way, so it suits a short outing at an easy pace. The Loggerheads pub is right by the start, which makes it simple to round things off with refreshments once you are back.
Burnt Wood walk 02
A longer circuit from Loggerheads that links three stretches of woodland, Bishops Wood, Park Springs and Burnt Wood, with quiet lanes and the settlements of Hales and Blore in between. The gradients are gentle, so it works well as a relaxed half-day walk on the Staffordshire and Shropshire border, with the village pub close to the start for a drink afterwards.
