Crumpwood Weir was built in the early 1800's to take the Uttoxeter Canal across the River Churnet. Boats dropped through Carrington's lock to join the river, before being pulled across the top of the weir and back into the canal via a flood lock on the other side. The Uttoxeter Canal opened in 1811, but was never profitable. It was closed in 1849, when much of its route was filled in to accommodate North Staffordshire Railway.
Crumpwood Cottage is now empty, and becoming rundown. There is no public footpath through the grounds of the property.
The footpaths for this series are generally firm compacted stone. They are in good condition, but unpaved, and there may be some steeper inclines to reach some of the caches. The minor trails can be wet and muddy. The tree cover even in winter is quite dense, so don't rely 100% on your GPS.
F.T.F Honours goes to shropshire seekers. Congratulations.
