This is a good point to stop if you had enough - follow the canal to the bus stop on main road in Cheddleton and take a bus to Leek. From Leekbrook, the route stays on a main road which is very busy and not at all pleasant to follow.

There is a farm as you approach Caverswall from Longton where they do their best to hide the route through (no signs, an unmarked wooden gate in a fence) and divert you onto a less desirable muddy track but it is not obstructed and is accurately mapped here....

Walk this route

An alternative route is to follow the Henmore Brook out of the town (some new paths have been constructed), then Watery Lane and the footpath along the flood bank to Hanging Bridge (the bridge over the river that is, not the place). Path beside the recently closed school in Mayfield (just past road "The Park"), Slack Lane, Middle Mayfield (could rejoin the route here), Hollow Lane (can be muddy but there is a dry route on the bank above) to join the Limestone Way to Ellastone1 From Hanging Bridge take the riverside path, then the road past Mayfield Church, and then footpath along the river to rejoin the route....
