The Manifold Way near Sparrowlee Bridge Roughly 8 miles long, and following the Manifold and Hamps valleys, this path and cycleway takes the line of a former tourist and agricultural railway. It runs from Waterhouses to Hulme End, with facilities for bike hire at the southern end, there are seasonal refreshments at a number of locations (particularly road crossings) and permanent cafes at a couple of spots. The narrow gauge (2'6") Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway was originally opened in the 1900s, mainly to take milk to the creamery at Ecton, and animals to market, but never really seems to have flourished, and closed again in 1934, the route being handed over to the Staffordshire Council later that decade, and converted to a path around that time.
