We are the Staffordshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from the quaint village of Wetton, the walk passes through Wetton Mill (cafe and toilets) where we stop for a short break. Next we ascend Ottoms Hill before lunch and then follow a scenic route into the picturesque village of Butterton where we stop at the Black Lion Inn for a drink. We then walk back through Hillsdale and onto Wetton via Thor's Cave (optional steep walk up to Thor's Cave although not part of recci). The walk involves varied scenery, some roadside walking, fields, farmland and villages.
Please note on the recci the walk was very muddy in parts with some uneven rocky paths, some steep hill inclines, cows and livestock in fields. Lunch required. Pease note earlier start time.
Start point is the free Wetton Council car park with toilets DE6 2AF. Alternative parking can be found in the village but please be mindful of local residents when parking on the roadside. Please note there are some narrow country lanes around Manifold and it is recommended to travel via Warslow, Hulme end and then onto Wetton. For anyone interested in joining us for a pub meal after the walk, we will be going to The Royal Oak in Wetton (this is not pre-bookable and depends on availability).
