Footpaths and walks

Eccleshall has a very extensive Parish, the second largest in the County, comprising some 20,000 acres. There are 134 public rights of way in the Parish listed by the County Council and set down in the DEFINITIVE MAP.

Considerable work has been undertaken by the Parish with the agreement of Landowners, farmers and Staffordshire County Council to improve the network of Rights of Way. Stiles have been installed, finger pointer posts, waymarking and bridges built. There are a number of volunteer walkers who report problems to the Parish Council. The Parish Council has a footpaths budget and employs a handyman. All rights of way have been waymarked.

If you wish to report a problem, please contact Mrs. Ros Taylor, who co-ordinates the volunteer marshalls programme. She is contactable on 01785 859068 or ros.taylor@eccleshall.staffslc.gov.uk

A number of walks booklets and individual walks have been created by the parish council and these are available in the library, or for download on this page:
