Park Hall SAGA Award Pillar

Highlight • Monument

I strongly feel that this was originally a toposcope pillar as it definitely seems that a disc has been removed.

Beautiful views over Stoke on Trent and seating is provided …

Lady Corner Pool

Highlight • Natural

A beautiful little oasis.

This is the largest of a few pools here which are excellent habitats for insects and amphibians.

This large pool is deeper and supports fishing.
