A short one, as I was getting over Covid. I'd planned a deeper dive into Silverdale Country Park and may come back for the far side as part of a route to Keele and Bateswood.

You drive up the hill from Knutton to the start near Alsagers Bank, and the route explores Apedale and the edge of Silverdale, both old mining land that's now woodland, heath and pools.
