As part of National Walking Month in May, Staffordshire housebuilder Barratt Homes has come up with a list of walks around its Waterside development to freshen up the walking routine.
Walking is one of the easiest ways to improve both physical and mental health and with the warm summer evenings on the horizon, there are few better places to do it than Trentham.
Barratt Homes is dedicated to ensuring that all of its new residents have easy access to green open space, as it’s become a major priority for house-hunters following the pandemic according to Zoopla.
The development on Chessington Crescent will offer this in abundance with an impressive amount of public open space.
Living Street suggests that swapping a short drive for a short walk, can help reduce air pollution, congestion and road danger – and save help some money in the process.
The housebuilder believes that the time spent on walks is invaluable – helping to improve health and relationships with friends and family. It also offers itself as an easy solution to the risks of physical inactivity.
Beyond the development, Trentham is home to a wealth of potential walking spots that combine green and blue open space to make every walk new and refreshing.
Some of the top walks around Trentham are:
Hem Heath Woods
Located a short walk from the development, Hem Heath Woods encompasses four distinct woods: The Oaks, Newstead Wood, Newpark Plantation and Hem Heath. This reserve provides a wonderful green oasis, and is the largest area of woodland in Stoke-on-Trent, making it an ideal location for walks.
Longton Park
Longton Park is a fantastic option for a walk situated directly off Trentham Road. Walkers can enjoy strolling along the banks of the small stream which meanders through picturesque woodlands.
The park is famous for its trees, horticulture and lakes. It houses a range of buildings including the clock tower and three bowling pavilions and is registered as one of the city’s heritage parks.
Glebedale Park
Located a short drive from the development, walkers can take a peaceful stroll over the hills for picturesque views of Fenton and experience the budding wildlife at Glebedale Park.
Michaela Lancaster, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “These walks are a great way for our residents to get moving throughout the year and freshen up their routines.
“Trentham is a fantastic place to walk due to the vast amounts of greenery. Many of our developments have large open spaces for residents to enjoy and Trentham Gardens is no exception.”
