Castle View Cruise to Gnosall

A rural route with magnificent views of Staffordshire and Shropshire with a little climbing. The route starts in the county town of Stafford with its many attractions and places of interest to visit, but quickly leaves that all behind and heads out along the Greenway cycle track (Disused Railway) passing a number of pretty villages all with welcoming Pubs until reaching Gnosall.  Here there is an opportunity for refreshment and a childrens play area before returning.  The return uses quiet lanes which afford distant views of Shropshire/ the Wrekin to the West and Cannock Chase to the East. The last few miles are slightly down hill rejoining the Greenway and returning to Stafford.

Please note that ST16 1BG is the post code for Stafford Rugby Club.  From here take the Kingsway North then 2nd exit off the next island onto Martin Drive. 2nd exit off next island continuing on Martin Drive. Carpark is on the left at end of road.
