Around the lake you will find links to a few public footpaths which connect on to the Staffordshire Way

This is a lovely walk around the lake. If you walk the whole circular route please note that this is a longer walk - around 5 miles.

beautiful scenery throughout the walk and you can watch people rowing and sailing across the lake whilst you rest. There is a small cafe on the bank which is lovely but outdoor seating only. The car park is small so you need to get there early as it gets busy, you need to pay for this also.

There is a pub ‘The Rudyard Hotel’ in walking distance which is dog friendly inside.
