Apedale Community Country Park is Staffordshire's newest Country Park. The Park, which comprises 184 hectares , is criss-crossed with footpaths and tracks leading to breezy heights open meadows, secluded woodland glades and silent pools. Family nature trails, pond dipping, guided walks, organised events and festivals, educational activities and special projects add to the countryside experience.
In its heyday, Apedale was in the forefront of the Industrial Revolution because of the rich deposits of coal, iron and clay found there. Today, little of Apedale's industrial past remains. The furnaces, mine buildings, tramways, canal and brickworks have all but disappeared and nature has taken over.
