Keele Hall and Commemorative Fountain

Highlight • Monument

Keele Hall is a stunning stately mansion set in stunning grounds with grand vistas out over 604 acres of lovely landscaped grounds. It is part of the Keele University campus, and it is Staffordshire’s leading academic venue.

Tree Swing by the Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

Usually a tree swing comprises either a big knotted rope or a tyre if you are lucky.

I do like to see a proper seated swing. It was a decent width which ought to accommodate most bottoms 😁

Druids Grove Yew Trees

Highlight • Forest

There must be around 12 to 14 yew trees grown together in this spot.

I do particularly like this tree for its gnarly roots and unusual trunk. They age in the most spectacular way.

Bluebell Way

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path can be very mucky in wet conditions, particularly in the field region. Two Two metal gates to pass between fields. Cracking spot for wildlife at dusk.
