Wander, explore,
and unwind
From gentle canal paths to woodland adventures, the Staffordshire countryside offers the perfect backdrop for a slower pace and a breath of fresh air.
From cabin to countryside
Step outside your cabin and explore miles of scenic walking trails. Wander along the canal towards the dog friendly Junction Inn at Norbury, or stroll the country lanes to the Cock Inn at Woodseaves for a refreshing local ale.
Local nature & hidden gems
For nature lovers, Loynton Moss Nature Reserve offers peaceful woodland paths, while Hawkstone Park Follies spans 100 acres of cliffs, caves and bridges - perfect for getting lost in the landscape. Hodnet Hall’s 60 acres of gardens are ideal for spotting wildlife, from green woodpeckers to butterflies, and are best finished with coffee and cake at the café.
Whether you’re after scenic walks, historic gardens, or quirky experiences, expect to be surrounded by the perfect mix of relaxation and discovery - all within easy reach of your lakeside retreat.
Local days out
Culture, history and adventure are all close by. Visit Shugborough Hall or Weston Hall for grand estates and scenic walks, or step back in time at Blist Hill Victorian Village. Thrill-seekers can head to Alton Towers, while Trentham Estate offers gardens, Monkey Forest and a shopping village. In Stoke-on-Trent, paint your own ceramics at Emma Bridgewater’s decorating studio, or try something different with Knightley Alpaca Trekking.
