Overview

From Bathpool we will head around the park then off in the direction of Kidsgrove where we will pick up the Trent and Mersey Canal to Church Lawton.  It's then cross country to Scholar Green where we will pause for a pint in the Bleeding Wolf.  We then follow the Gritstone trail along the canal to Harecastle Tunnel and back to Bathpool Park. A fairly flat walk, along a mixture of Canal towpaths, footpaths and Country lanes/ tracks. Lunch Required
