About

The Oakamoor to Denstone Greenway is a 6 mile long flat, safe, off-road route the majority of which is a redundant railway line and extinct canal. Also known as the Churnet Valley Way, it follows closely to the path of the River Churnet through the attractive wooded Churnet Valley in Staffordshire. Running between the villages of Oakamoor and Denstone via Alton, it connects to the network of footpaths at Dimmingsdale Forest and offers stunning views across the open grass areas.  Suitable for all ages and abilities, the trail is a great place for easy walking and cycling, or taking a canter on horseback.
