It has been beautiful weather this weekend, lovely weather for walking, it seems everyone I talk to this weekend has been out walking, how lucky they are. We will be able to get out later this evening with the dogs but we have been too busy to take advantage of this beautiful weather during the day. People tend to think of the Potteries as an industrial area and it is but within minutes walk or drive there is beautiful countryside and many interesting walks for all ages and abilities.
Recently Christopher Somerville, a travel journalist from The Times stayed with us whilst walking the canal towpath between Barlaston (Wedgwood) and Stoke on Trent. His purpose was to show that there are many good walks in the city areas and these can be accessed by public transport too. On the doorstep are Apedale Country Park, Hanchurch Woods or the Barlaston Downs and slightly further afield the magnificent Staffordshire Moorlands. The canal network is quite extensive around this area and provides some wonderful opportunities for walking.
