A really tranquil spot with a complex of i think 4? Interlinked woods. Easy walking, can be a little boggy when you leave the main track and if you get confused when you do wander off: If the sound of the railway is on your right you are headed towards world of Wedgood, If it is on your left you are headed back towards the car park at the Trentham end of the world. I do recommend it early in the day in Autumn to catch the golden sunlight. Squirrels, Herons, Dormice and if you are a twitcher lots of bird song. I do like to sit inside the areas off the track (especially on a windy day) and 'forest' bathe. The smells and sounds of the woods are good for you.

Year round "green therapy". A place to escape the chaos of city living whilst being on the doorstep of the city. Fancy a quick walk? ✅ Fancy getting lost amongst the trees with your dog? ✅ Fancy getting thoroughly muddy? ✅ Can also just stick to the main path in the centre which isn't as muddy but where's the fun in that! ☺️ Great for the kids to lose themselves to nature. Expect nothing more than what the woodland provides and you will have a lovely walk out and about.

Currently no access to the car park due to some felling work being done. I was able to get access to the path from the road although I wouldn’t say it was particularly pram friendly! Once on the path it was reasonably okay for a pram although lots of tree roots and muddy in spots. Some paths were not pram friendly. I would say this is more of a baby carry sort of walk or toddlers upwards. Otherwise nice surroundings but some paths need maintenance.

Beautiful little nature reserve just up the road from Trentham Gardens. Small carpark but hardsurfaced. The woods themselves are well laid out some paths have had hardcore laid down can be a little hard on doggies paws. Can be very tranquil but is between an industrial estate and a train line so noises from this can intrude sometimes not alot can be done about it but was a little minus for me.

Great place to walk the dog or go exploring with the kids, nice little parking area just off Trentham Road, then good central paths and then turnings at regular intervals to explore. About 30 minute walk to the Wedgwood visitor centre, the another 30 minute walk along the canal side to the plume of feathers for refreshments after a long walk. Then back again on a different route if required.

Lovely walk from Trentham to Barlaston... You can keep it shorter and go down the main path, or take the many paths that lead off it to lengthen the walk and see more /walk away from people. You can also give yourself a reward /undo all your exercise by having a hot drink and a treat at Wedgwood when you get to Barlaston! A nice place to get away from the city.... In the city.
