Oakamoor Walks & Route Maps

This first walk is a simple family-friendly stroll around the pretty village of Oakamoor.

You'll stroll alongside the River Churnet for a while, explore the woodlands in the area and also roam the pretty streets of the village where there are a couple of lovely pubs to enjoy.

This second route takes you on an adventure to the South and along the Churnet Valley.

Head anticlockwise around this route as this gets the main big and strenuous climb out of the way first as you climb up the steep and wooded Moss's Banks.

After the climb, the route is then much easier going as you join the Oasal Dale track and stroll down past the pretty Mill's Pond (from the walk photo) to Lord's Bridge. You'll then meet up with the Churnet Valley cycleway for a sweeping walk back towards the village.

When you get back to Oakamoor, there is then a short circular meander around the village itself where you can visit either of the nice pubs for refreshments.

This final route option is another strenuous adventure in this wonderful part of Staffordshire.

Head clockwise on this one to walk along the river and then climb up into the woodland like the second route. It then takes you much further north than that one, with much more climbing, until you finally reach the Staffordshire Moorlands Walk trail.

From there you'll enjoy some nice views before following the long Moorlands trail back towards Oakamoor, eventually tracking the Cotton Brook wooded valley as you come back into the village.

You'll be glad to know that the last stretch is downhill most of the way as you work your way back to your reward in the village's lovely oubs, and includes one very steep decline so be careful there.
