A gentle circular walk from Kingsley through rolling farmland and woodland edges, with sweeping views across the Churnet Valley. A peaceful countryside escape in the Staffordshire Moorlands, perfect for photographers and slow walkers seeking space and fresh air.

Carved by time and framed by towering limestone cliffs, Thor’s Cave rises from the Manifold Valley like something pulled straight from legend. Our walk winds through peaceful riverside paths before climbing into this dramatic cavern, where echoes tell stories older than history itself. Stepping back into the daylight, we continue up onto the valley rim — rewarded with sweeping views, quiet woodland trails and the wild beauty that makes this corner of the Peak District feel both ancient and alive.
