Biddulph Valley Way

The Biddulph Valley Way lies just west of the town of Biddulph following the old railway. It is suitable for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Originally a branch of the North Staffordshire Railway or "Knotty" the path has a mixture of embankments, cuttings, small copses, hedgerows and ditches.
