The Windmill Tower, Windmill Pub Car Park

This is a beautiful 18C tower but sadly missing its sails.

It is in the grounds of the Windmill Pub Car Park

Viewpoint for Sunset

Highlight • Viewpoint

I think this has been removed now. I couldn't see it today.

Very sad 😟

It is still a nice spot to sit for the viewpoint but unfortunately you may have to rough it on the sandstone.

Barlaston Common Woodland

Highlight • Natural

A very lovely place for hide and seek and climbing.

Tip by

Kissing Gate at Barlaston and Rough Close Common

Highlight • Rest Area

Easy place to access the common if you are visiting both Rough Close and Barlaston

Tip by

4.58 km

Barlaston Common Woodland by the Pond

Highlight • Forest

Take a meander through here when you check out the pond. The locals usually out a rope swing up too so have fun (but be careful)

Tip by

Barlaston Common Pool

Highlight • Natural

Definitely worth a visit along with Rough Close Common. From Spring to Autumn, their are 10 rare cows here to graze which keeps the flora and fauna in check.

Clock Tower, Queens Park, Crewe

Highlight • Monument

These former fountains are no longer working but have been retained as a historical feature of Queens Park.

The four fountains are situated at the base of the clock tower.
