Churnet Valley walking

Although we are within 3 miles of Alton Towers Crowtrees Farm nestles in beautiful countryside where I walk with friends each Thursday. Walking from the farm this week we covered around 6 miles walking deep into the Churnet Valley, along a disused railway line from Oakamoor to reach Ross Bridge where we turned to climb up into the village of Whiston. From here the path took us through the Golf course towards Moneystone up over Cotton Banks and eventually back into Oakamoor and on to the Old Star pub for lunch. So you see when you stay at Crowtrees Farm B&B you can visit to Alton Towers with all the super charged action of this exciting theme park and then return in the evening to the peaceful countryside and maybe decide to enjoy more gentle pursuits next day.
