A memorial monument erected in 1845 in memory of a local mine-owner John Wedgwood

A really good trail

Open every day of the year (apart from Christmas Day) 10:00am-4:00pm.

Hole in the wall... no cash coming out of it though :D

Amazing little find whilst on the walk... makes you wonder!

steep but lovely climb

We loved the ride alongside Rudyard Lake. I think the walk along the opposite side would be even more lovely, but not suitable for cycling. We had bacon baps and cups of tea near The Dam by Rudyard Lake on the way back. Great value and a lovely view.

Plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the view as the Lake is quite immense

Mow Cop Castle sits on the summit of a rocky outcrop / ridge of sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level, on the Cheshire- Staffordshire border. The ridge itself is great fun to explore and affords magnificent views.

Mow Cop is the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.

There is a ban on using drones. I recommend this place anyway, beautiful views 👍📸

Good spot with seating to take a break.

This is a really cool place for a day trip. I recommend.

Rudyard Lake is in fact a reservoir, constructed in the 18th century to feed the Caldon Canal. It became a centre for recreation thanks to the North Staffordshire Railway, which would bring daytrippers to this beautiful spot. To this day, a range of activities take place on and around the lake. In 1863, two visitors were so taken with its beauty that they named their son after the lake. The son was Rudyard Kipling, the famous author who went on to write the Jungle Book and the Man Who Would be King.

A brilliant place to bring the kids. My children imagined it to be a beach when they were smaller.

Yet another bridge burdened with the ever growing weight of lovers' locks. The idea behind them is that the love is as timeless as the lock that represents it. The key is thereafter tossed into the water rendering the bond unbreakable.

A fun activity for 20p 😁

This large stone monument on the summit is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760–1839), a former local employer and coal mine owner. (NOT Josiah Wedgwood) Wedgwood's monument was initially an obelisk erected in 1850. Following storm damage in 1976 it was reduced to a quarter of its original size, although the base is still substantial. The monument is a Grade II listed building. The monument is today reachable by footpaths, and is the highest point in the area. It affords sweeping 360-degree views: south to Cannock Chase and the city of Stoke-on-Trent; north across the Cheshire Plains to Jodrell Bank radio telescope; east to Mow Cop Castleand the Peak District; and west to the mountains of North Wales and Snowdonia.

A fantastic viewpoint for this trig. 360 degree views! Sadly the local council saw fit to try and close off the trig with barbed wire. There is no reason at all for such a precaution. However, the nearby Wedgwood Memorial is perfectly accessible.

Mow Cop Castle is a famous landmark in Mow Cop, a village situated on a moorland ridge. The castle is actually a folly summerhouse, built to look like a ruin in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. From the castle, you get a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Staffordshire moorlands and the Cheshire Plain.
