Visited when staying at the Camping and Caravanning site at Blackshaw Moor near Leek. It was a superb 10 mile round trip hike from the campsite, across country via Lower Blackshaw Farm and Whitty Lane up to Hen Cloud. From there its an excellent north west trek following the Roaches ridge past Doxy Pool to the Trig point before turning back. Superb views of Tittesworth Reservoir. Plenty of places to stop for a picnic with a view. There is limited roadside parking that runs below the Roaches albeit it gets full very quickly. It is worth noting that it is not a bad walk from the reservoir Visitor Centre where there is ample parking, toilets etc.

Hawksflight Falconry offers you the chance to get up close and personal with our Birds of Prey and Owl experiences. Our aim is to educate all ages into the beauty and magnificence of these raptors and Owls with a hands on and practical approach through a variety of illustrated talks and experiences.

Absolutely brilliant- 3 hour experience purchased from a deal site - well worth the money. Small group, we got a chance to get close up with the Owls, David was very knowledgable & made it fun ... the hawk experience however which is featured towards the end of the visit was worth the price alone - if you fancy something really different & educational the whole family will benefit from this. 5 stars & will be visiting again

The perfect day out for all the family! Trentham Monkey Forest is completely unique to the UK. It is the only place that you can walk amongst 140 Barbary macaques roaming free in 60 acres of beautiful Staffordshire woodland.

Coombes Valley is a wonderful woodland nature reserve. There is something for everyone including a play trail, woodland walks and plenty of wildlife
Reviewed By Ethleigh - Coventry, United Kingdom
One of my favourite places. We seek out reserves that have a no dog policy so that we can enjoy wildlife and nature without dog walkers dominating. It's beautiful one of the few places I can relax outside. Everybody is friendly and calm. We always see plenty of birds and like how each bit of the reserve has a different feel and there is some hilly sections up into the woods. The lady who is in the shop is really nice and enjoyed talking to her. It would be a nice place to take children too as there is a big flat accessible walk with a play trail.

Travelled from Leeds. Was staying with family in Lichfield and looking for something to do with 3 children under 12. Came across an offer for here on Groupon. Paid £8 for entry for all 4 of us but after having visited yesterday, I'd have happily paid the full price of £16 all day long. Thought we'd only spend a couple of hours here but ended up staying the full day! What a great place for the rescued animals. Such a mixture of different animals to see too. They all seem very well looked after. My daughter and nephews even got to stroke a skunk, touch a snake and a tortoise! Their personal favourites were the wolf hybrids Saxon and Rain and my 18 month old nephew was obsessed with the tortoise and kept following him around his pen! All the staff were very friendly and great with the children. As well as the animals, there's a little play park, picnic area, mini golf area and mini train, where the very friendly train driver let my nephew sit in the front and pretend he was driving the train. Made his day! The food from the cafe in the garden centre is delicious too. Overall, had a great day and will definitely return next time we're back down this neck of the woods. For all the staff here, keep up the good work! Would highly recommend.

Set in the heart of the Staffordshire Peak District; Peak Wildlife Park offers a truly unique and immersive animal experience. Our large walkthroughs allow you to come face to face with exotic and endangered animals from across three continents. Whether you love lemurs, have a passion for penguins or want to wander with the wallabies (and feed them with your hand!)our park has something for you. Our regular keeper talks and on site facilities provide everything you need for an entertaining, exciting and educational day out. The kids will have a wild time enjoying our play area with space hoppers, trikes and large bouncy castle, whilst you can enjoy a relaxing hot drink and delicious snack. Once you’ve done all that…Make sure you meet our Meerkats, look out for otters, see if you can hear the Rheas and DON’T miss our african village (or our Pygmy Goats won’t be happy!). You can do all of this whilst helping to contribute to the conservation of some of the word’s most amazing animals

Had a lovely visit to the peak wildlife park with my grandchildren, loved seeing al the animals and watched all the feeding times and talks which were very informative, it was great fun in the Lima’s enclosure and also the wallaby’s that run free around you ,,, we especially enjoyed the penguins and were lucky enough to see the babies being fed and weighed .. the food area was really nice and the food was very reasonably priced . The pizzas are huge and delicious. We also use the indoor jungle play area where the little ones had lots of fun playing. We visited the gift shop to buy a souvenir of our day out and the gifts were good prices and had a good choice . A lovely place to visit on a sunny day .

The Green Fairies live in the woods at Heart of the Country Shopping Village. They build their homes using unwanted items found in the local area. Situated in a natural woodland, the Green Fairy Trail is free of charge during village opening hours, Tuesday - Sunday 10 - 5.

What a lovely idea. Spent a couple of hours here looking around the Shops and had a picnic. My son who is almost 3 really enjoyed the fairy walk. Would recommend for local people and people passing by. We will be visiting again and will bring a fairy door with us too. The little play area which includes a mud kitchen was a lovely touch as well. Thank you to the volunteers for creating such a lovely space for the children. It's not very often you find free activities to do!
