Staffordshire Walks
These walks at Downs Banks offer a wonderful mix of woodland, heath and far-reaching countryside views.
The shorter route is a pleasant circular stroll through peaceful natural surroundings, while the longer option explores more of the hillside before climbing to enjoy sweeping panoramic views across Staffordshire.
Both walks provide a refreshing escape with just enough ascent to make those views feel well earned.
