On Saturday 22nd March we welcome walkers to discover the latest stretch of the Trent Valley Way in Stoke-on-Trent. It’s a free guided waterside walk through Stoke-on-Trent.
Walkers can choose the challenge of a 25km walk or pick and choose stretches between 1.5 to 8km in length. The walk starts in Norton Green and finishes in Barlaston at the World of Wedgewood visitor car park.
It is also an opportunity to get to know Stoke-on-Trent’s latest wildlife murals, completed by local artist, Tom Edward.
The walk is part of a wider ambition to create better access to the Trent as part of a signposted source-to-sea footpath from Biddulph Moor to the Humber Estuary.
Help us go the extra mile for the Trent
At Trent Rivers Trust, we’re dreaming of a healthy Trent, a home to wildlife and a place to connect with our natural world.
The Trent is a lifeline. We all depend on healthy natural rivers for clean water – and for the small, joyful things that make life worthwhile.
Sadly, habitat loss and pollution mean that we’re only seeing a fraction of the life possible. Over two generations, we have lost migratory species, such as the Atlantic sturgeon, in the Trent. We also celebrated victories, such as the return of the Atlantic salmon.
Having worked on solutions locally for 20 years, we know what works. We also know that we cannot do this alone – that rivers need local action, a voice and empowered communities looking after them.
That’s why we’re raising funds to help us advocate for the Trent and its tributaries where it matters, develop more projects that restore their health and support more communities in looking after their stretch of river.
