Dist:0.3km<br/>Village pub, pleasantly unmodernised; three drinking areas with bar skittles, TV, exposed stonework and a variety of seating. Cask ales on offer at my visit: Bass, Everards Tiger, Hunters Pheasant Plucker.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Oakamoor lies in a steep wooded valley in the Staffordshire moorlands. At one time it was served by both a canal and a railway. The canal has long since gone but the railway track bed still exists. To the south the track is now a pleasant multi-user trail to Alton. To the northwest it connects to the Churnet Valley preserved railway with the prospect that one day the line might be extended once more into Oakamoor.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The journey from Threapwood to the Churnet Valley, along Chapel Lane and Stoney Dale, is one of the most interesting narrow lanes that I have ever been along.
