Richmore Hall Campsite

Downs Banks Edges Walk, Downs Bank

Loops through ancient woodland and heathland on mostly gentle paths with a few short, moderate climbs along sandstone ridges. Generally manageable for older children (8+) but too uneven and rooty in places for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads to protect ground-nesting birds. Lovely elevated views across Staffordshire, interesting rock formations, and a mix of shady forest and open heath make this a rewarding National Trust ramble year-round.

Downs Banks Dog Walk, Downs Bank

Meanders through mixed woodland and heath across National Trust land with gentle gradients and occasional short climbs. Perfect for families with older children who can manage uneven forest paths, though buggies won't cope with the roots and steps. Dogs love the varied terrain and stream-dipping opportunities. Offers lovely seasonal woodland scenes and enough space for energetic pups to explore safely off-lead in designated areas.

Stone Circles Challenge

Explores Staffordshire's ancient stone circle sites across varied moorland and farmland terrain with moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for older children used to longer distances, but uneven ground and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers a fascinating blend of archaeology and countryside, connecting prehistoric monuments with panoramic views across the Peak District fringes – perfect for families who enjoy history alongside their hiking.
