12th March 2022 Weaver Hills Walk North Staffordshire

The Weaver Hills are the very end of the Pennine ridge. Built on carboniferous limestone and the walk passes several large quarries, some still in use and tumuli showing evidence of its pre-historic past. The walk, which is just short of 11 miles, starts at a very convenient car park in the the little hamlet of Blore and proceeds on reasonably well marked footpaths over meadows and through several villages to reach a small summit “The Walk” 1217ft (370m) before returning, via footpaths, bridleways and roads to the car park. It was a lovely fine spring day which was a bonus making a grand day out.
