Barlaston and Wedgwood country
Our view
From the visitor centre drive, head left across the lake and then right up the drive towards Barlaston Hall. Go past this hall and continue along the metalled road as far as the crossroads in Barlaston. At the crossroads turn right and after 250yds (229m), just past the Church of St John the Baptist on your left, head left along a wide gravel track.
The track passes through a broad expanse of open farmland, with sweeping (if not altogether dramatic) views of the Trent and Mersey Canal to the right. After about 800yds (732m), before the third gate, go right on a less obvious but waymarked path around the edge of the field to reach a stile. After crossing the stile head right along a wide track, then cross the railway via an underpass, before bearing right to a bridge over the canal. Go over the bridge and take the steps down to the left.
