Wetley Moor is a smallish reserve to the east of Stoke-on-Trent near the village of Werrington. The reserve is lowland heath and managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. We made our first visit there last month and had an enjoyable walk through the reserve although we did get a bit caught out by a muddy patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the reserve is high enough to see across the valley where Stoke is situated and, on a clear day, you can see as far as the Wrekin with the Shropshire hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos I have taken are with the purpose of creating interactive ‘Virtual Tours’ and\/or video ‘Virtual Walks’. Here is a selection of the photos from this trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This panoramic view is in a more westerly direction and shows the path as it descends down the hillside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the benches with a view across the moor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This muddy patch has a bridge or boardwalk over the worst of it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is a panoramic view roughly to the east showing the ridge we descended from<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here the path follows an old track as we approach the woods. I like to include some of the wild flowers by the path<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The path at this point follows an old pack-horse route. This may explain the dry stone wall in this remote location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another panoramic view of the ridge from a different location. Our initial path followed down the ridge from right to left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was a nice place to visit. We intend to come again in a different season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
