Embark on the Trent Valley Way: Trentham Monument Circular, a moderate 6.6-mile (10.7 km) hike that takes approximately 2 hours and 55 minutes to complete. You will gain 572 feet (174 metres) in elevation as you explore a mix of wooded paths, open fields, and a peaceful canal towpath. A highlight of the route is the Duke of Sutherland Monument, which offers expansive views over the Trentham Estate and the surrounding countryside. In spring, the woods come alive with a carpet of bluebells, adding to the scenic charm of your journey. The varied terrain ensures a continuously engaging experience for hikers.
When planning your visit, be prepared for potentially muddy sections, especially after rainfall; sturdy waterproof footwear is highly recommended. You will need to cross the busy A34 road twice during the route, so exercise caution and be aware of traffic. This trail is not suitable for any wheeled transport, including pushchairs or bicycles, due to its varied terrain and some steeper sections. The best time to experience the full beauty of the trail, particularly the bluebells, is during the spring months.
This circular route offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical interest, forming part of the wider Trent Valley Way network. As you hike, keep an eye out for the intriguing Monkey Forest section, where you might spot some playful residents. The trail's proximity to the Trentham Estate adds a touch of grandeur, making it a notable option for those seeking a moderate outdoor adventure with diverse landscapes and points of interest in the region.
