Directions to Froghall Wharf

The meeting point for the Churnet Valley Ramble is the free public car park a hundred yards or so north of the A52 Ashbourne - Stoke main road.

Approaching from the Ashbourne direction pass through Whiston village then descend a long hill into the valley. After a sharp left bend keep your eyes peeled for a brown info sign pointing right. Take the very acute right turn shortly after this sign. The road is sign-posted 'Foxt' but after about 100 yds take the left fork and the car park and tea room will be on your right.

From the Stoke/Cheadle direction on the A52, pass the Churnet Valley railway station and drive over the railway bridge in the bottom of the valley, then pass the turn for Ipstones on your left and immediately afterwards take the left turn into a lane sign-posted 'Foxt'. After about 100 yds take the left fork and the car park and tea room will be on your right.
