Starting in Leek this walk includes the Leek branch of The Caldon Canal and Ladderedge Country Park.
Leaflets for all of the Staffordshire Moorland Walks are available to download from http://www.staffsmoorlands.gov.uk/sm/council-services/parks-and-open-spaces/self-guided-walks or paper versions can be purchased (30p each in 2016) from Leek Tourist Information Centre (Nicholson Institute, Stockwell Street, Leek ST13 6DH).
Allow up to 1.75 hours
I use Waypoints to mark junctions and stiles but more importantly in order to precisely follow the route. I have found this invaluable when you are unsure where the path is.
