Madeley in Staffordshire (not the one in Shropshire) sits between Nantwich and Newcastle-under-Lyme, just over the Cheshire border. The pool in the village was made by damming the River Lea for a grain mill. The mill's long gone, but the pool's still there and the ducks expect feeding.
The route goes out via Wrinehill and Checkley Brook and back through Bowsey Wood.
