RUDYARD LAKE WITH WHEELS
Rudyard Lake is a reservoir in Rudyard, Staffordshire, located north-west of the town of Leek, Staffordshire. It was constructed in the late 18th century to feed the Caldon Canal.

From the car park the path follows the steam train track on a wide path, this path was actually an old railway line, perfect for prams and wheelchairs.
It was busy but the paths are wide enough for everyone.
The path leads all the way to the Cafe, picnic area, toilets and a small museum. It is a boating lake and you are able to purchase tickets to be able to take your own boat or canoe on the waters.
After Ice cream we continued past the Lake and up to the train station which was all wheelchair friendly. From here we returned the same way.
