Tourist attraction in Stoke

“Great place for a walk in nature, beautiful and peaceful, plenty of benches to rest on along the way and an excellent kids trail. Will definitely visit again when in the area.”

“Great to find a good range of Belgian beers, including several zero alcohol beers. Sadly, there was no bar food available when we were there. Very friendly staff. Live music in the courtyard made for a great atmosphere.”

“Really nice area with a variety of walking routes (most of which are firm under foot). Well worth crossing the canal into Marbury park and stopping off at the mobile refreshments trailer (their Marbury blend tea is very nice and they do a variety of lunch options and sweet treats).There are public toilets next to the trailer, should you need them. Crossing back over the canal, and following the tow path back to the boat lift car park, results in around a 4.5 mile circular route, but there are opportunities to extend it further, should you want to. Really popular with dog walkers and families.”

“We’ve had 2 owl experience’s now and enjoyed it each time, Lisa is very engaging with the audience and has a wealth of knowledge about the birds she cares for, highly recommended.”

“Absolutely gorgeous walk, especially April May when the bluebells are flowering. 100% blessed to have on doorstep.”

“Visited yesterday with my two children, aged 15 & 9. Both had an absolutely brilliant time. Dawn, who helped my daughter half way through the course when she was really struggling and doubting her own abilities, was so lovely. It was challenging but brilliant fun. The kids especially loved the descent at the end! We would definitely visit again if in the area and highly recommend.”

“Great place to meet local people and events”

“Bought a sun hat for my grandson it’s perfect fit - I used the on size line guide it works: quality is excellent. My comment and it’s not a criticism:is that my grandson gets prick heat and is prone to getting sunburn on the back of his neck. Obviously the store doesn’t know this: We were hoping the rear of the hat would be made a little bit longer. I don’t think he will be the only person with this issue: perhaps a business opportunity.”

“This is probably the nicest pub I've ever been in, if I lived in this town I would live here. Craft beers, real ales, great selection of gin, amazing environment. Well done.”

“we had the most amazing day here looking at the animals! the shire horses are so beautiful and we were able to stroke them as well as listen to a talk about each of them. The centre also has otters and foxes which we were able to learn about whilst they were being fed. Honestly, the most incredible place with such friendly staff and beautiful animals - will definitely be coming back!”

“I refreshing area for a lovely walk on a nice day. Plenty of things to see with a great view from the highest point across the whole area in multiple directions”

“Driving from Glasgow to South Wales we (4) needed somewhere with great food and great real ale for a relaxed stop in mid afternoon. Just less than 3 miles from junction 17 M6 we phoned ahead to make sure the opening hours hadn't changed and what ales were available. A charming girl confirmed 4 ale selections and that the kitchen was open all day until 8pm. We arrived at 14.15 and were seated near the bar. The food was second to none. Piping hot and fresh, local and delicious. Exceptional value. We were told the pub had been in the same family for over 30 years and Jake, the owners' son, was obviously clearly passionate about his role in the business and his ale husbandry. One of the most perfect stops we have ever made and would return in a heartbeat.”

“Great area for all the family members and friendly dogs. After nice walk everyone can enjoy a cup of coffee or an ice cream in local coffee. Summer time is even better as you can enjoy water activities”

“It's a lovely lake and a nice easy walk around the lake. And it has paths leading off to other walks through the woodland. So you can make your walk as big or small as you like. Lots of nature trails and lots of things the kids can spot along the way. The little cow shed next door to the reserve so you can grab a cuppa. Card only. Oakhanger project's is how I came to know the place through kayaking and canoeing. Which I found through Walk talk action. Which you can also find on Facebook and get involved for people of all ages”

“Perfect service, nice menu, good price, friendly, dogs friendly... Parking”

“This place was amazing! My sister and I loved being able to see the monkeys up so and learn so many different facts about them for example, their origin and their diet. We were lucky enough to be there at the time of their feeding which we got to see a staff member feed the monkeys and teach us how they behave and the hierarchy of the monkey kingdom. At the time of visiting, they had over 100 monkeys to see and around 11 of which being babys as young as 4 weeks old. As you leave the monkey forest, there's a cafe and a really big park with unique attractions such as big tree swings and mystery trails to walk and venture on. This site is truly amazing and I couldn't recommend it for families any more!”

“I have visited The Regent many times over the last 20 years but today was my first visit since needing to use a wheelchair. I was apprehensive about what to expect. I booked my tickets using the access phoneline; they were extremely helpful in setting up my access account. I read the online access information for the venue; the guide was very thorough. The pavements around are smooth, the staff were fantastic, help with the platform lift was seemless and made me feel like I was not a burden or inconvenience, the use of the lift to get to the circle was fine (although signs in the lift itself would be helpful as the signs are all at usual head height and the venue was busy so people blocked my sightlines), the access seating was great. Exit was super smooth too- again security staff made me feel safe and were great. What a fantastic way to treat people. Many thanks!”

“The Hales Hall caravan and camping site is in Cheadle Staffordshire. It's a large site that provides both tent and caravan pitches. They also have the choice of 3 types of wooden lodges which looks lovely but they are limited to just a few. On this site they have a statley home which as a restaurant that you can book a table even if you are not staying at the site. They have a bar with a good selection of drinks and friendly staff. They have all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable toilets and showers blocks. This site is close to the Alton towers theme park and also a great place to stay if you want to explore some of Staffordshires beautiful walks and trials”

“1820 the trees were donated from around the country it's got the most variety of trees in the country in one park. These trees have seen so many memories tears and laughter. We sit under them from the shade and shelter from the rain. I love this park and the lake.”

“Great virtual tour for less able visitors, excellent guide who was a mine of information about this early example of factories and continuous processes. Good catering and well worth a visit”

“Went here for the North Pole express. We had a great time. The staff were all really friendly. A great experience for us and the kids. A small bag of treats on the train including port and mince pies for us and juice and cookies for the kids made the journey even better. The kids loved their gifts from Santa too; a well thought out gift for our kids ages. The elves on board made it fun, having a sing along and even a bit of magic which was great. All in all a really great experience and highly recommend it. We also had a drink in the bar after, mulled wine and a great selection of beers finished off with some tasty hot meat baps and pigs in blankets.”

“The small breakfast is lovely and you have to pay for your hot drink however these are very reasonable price. The captains breakfast is lovely and reasonable price as you get fried bread and toast and a hot drink for under £8.00. If you want extras these are very reasonably priced. The restaurant is always clean and tidy the staff are lovely and they have a very good choice. This is our place to go.”

“Lovely little place for some really good food, and the sticky toffee pudding got glowing reviews all around with the lovely cream. The steak was cooked perfectly and a nice bit of meat can’t complain and recommend to all”

“Couldn’t really fault it. Excellent beer, great service. Traditional style pub very close to the train station. Friendly to away fans. Will return if ever in stoke. 40 minutes from the football ground.”

“Fantastic experience!! Every scene was beautifully presentated with perfect music! Great for families of all ages and enough places to stop to take photos and great food from the vendors!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly magical place. Mow Cop Castle feels like something out of a fairytale. The ruins are dramatic and full of character, perched high with breathtaking views in every direction. It’s peaceful, atmospheric, and perfect for a reflective walk or a fun little adventure — especially with a dog in tow! A hidden treasure well worth the visit.”

“Had a spontaneous Monday lunch at the Boars. The food, service and atmosphere was beautiful! We felt very festive and as always the chicken pie and belly pork was 10/10! Ella was very friendly and attentive. Already looking forward to our next visit! X”

“Had a fantastic day here. Two cafes with great food, ice creams and drinks. Toilets were clean. The house was quiet and easy to walk through everyone was helpful and informative. The grounds were stunning and lots to see. Great accessibility. Lots for kids to do, the house had kid friendly activities but also lots of parks and outside spaces for children. Promoting inclusivity and that seems to been something they are working hard to promote which is fantastic to see. Great walks for people and dog friendly also, even some doggy ice creams.”

“Great cinema, very helpful and friendly staff. Nice and clean. Very comfy reclining seats. Highly recommend”

“Me and my daughters visited this wildlife park and it was a wonderful visit. The animals all look well cared for with plenty of space to move. The accessibility for wheelchair users was fantastic. Platforms made it easy to view animals and the walk around areas were not too small. Information about each animal was clear and easy to understand for younger children. There was an option to feed wallabies or deer, we opted for wallabies and were amazed when a joey popped its head out of its mom's pouch. Although my daughters are adults, the play area was fantastic, we would have definitely spent a fair while there when they were younger. Definitely a place to visit. If there were any recommendations for the park, it would be to have some Makaton signs by the enclosures.”
