Rocks

What about rocks?

How many rocks have you spotted around the Staffordshire Moorlands other than the Roaches ?

Well as you wander around some parts of Leekbrook and Cheddleton you will actually notice a fair few rocky sites, within the fields across the railway tracks at Leekbrook Junction there are a few stones lying around, and I am not talking rocks that make up dry stone walling (although there are those as well). On the entrance to St Edwards housing estate, which lies between Cheddleton and Leekbrook, off the Cheadle Road, there are rocks, opposite one entrance, the Leekbrook entrance, there is a very rocky area, as seen below.

Apart from Lud's church and the Roaches, and Hen cloud, there are more rocks around the Staffordshire moorlands than some of us realise. Was Leek a town cut out of stone originally? hmmm!
