Overview

Three hills and a lot of stunning scenery make this the best walk in Staffordshire!

Starting in the beautiful village of Longnor, we will be heading towards Hollins Clough where ww ascend Hollins Hill and are rewarded with the first tantalising views of the sleeping dragon - the remainders of ancient coral reefs forming the ridge of sharp limestone outcrops known as the Dragon's Back.

A pleasant walk across pastures takes us to Chrome Hill, where we will clamber and explore the jagged pinnacles along the tops.

Some paths are narrow and hands may be needed at times for stability. Limestone terrain can be slippery, if wet.
