Lady Corner Pool

A beautiful little oasis.

This is the largest of a few pools here which are excellent habitats for insects and amphibians.

This large pool is deeper and supports fishing.

Park Hall SAGA Award Pillar

Highlight • Monument

I strongly feel that this was originally a toposcope pillar as it definitely seems that a disc has been removed.

Beautiful views over Stoke on Trent and seating is provided …

Hulme Beacon and Trig Point

If you like bagging Trig Points, this is a very easy one.

Park Hall Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

The old visitor centre was such an asset to the community.

They would host free funghi foraging forays and other events.

Hulme Quarry

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is worth taking one of the many well worn tracks to the centre of the quarry. There are lots of sandbanks for the younger ones to roll down too. It's a real gem for families with small children.

Skinners Canyon

Highlight • Canyon

It isn't as dramatic as the Play Canyon nearby but it is worth checking out on your hike.

Tip by

6.39 km

Bolton Gate Pool

Highlight • Lake

This area known as Bolton Gate was named after the farm that used the grounds before the quarrying began.

It is a beautiful picnic spot.
