South end of the Isabel Trail
The Isabel Trail is the name given to a 1.65 mile stretch of cycleway in Stafford, leading north then north-east from the A5288 to the A513. It runs over a small part of what was the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1939, and most of the line closed in 1951, except for the Isabel Trail section, used until 1975 for access to RAF Stafford (now MoD Stafford/Beacon Barracks).
The trail is flat and paved, and is a popular parkrun venue. It forms part of two National Cycle Network routes, 5 and 55.
It is named after Lady Isabel Stafford, the last owner of the nearby castle, who was forced to leave and cede Stafford Castle to Parliamentarian forces during the Civil War in 1643.

Yellow Water-lilies on the River Sow
The River Sow rises at Fairoak at the western edge of Stafford Borough, flows through Cop Mere, Eccleshall and Stafford joining the Trent at Shugborough.
Great Mullein by the ring-road
Great Mullein is a fan of waste ground, scrub, roadsides and rough grassland, and this scruffy verge off a ring-road next to a new housing development is ideal.
Cleared industrial site off Doxey Road
This was from 1913 to 2019 the site of the Universal Grinding Wheel Company Limited, known locally as the 'Uni', which had the head of a unicorn as its symbol. The next section of ring-road to the right of the observer, beyond a roundabout, is called Unicorn Way.

South end of Astonfields Balancing Lakes
Astonfields Balancing Lakes LNR is situated on the north-eastern edge of Stafford. The primary purpose of the balancing lakes is flood defence, but over the years a series of important wildlife habitats have developed on the site.
The northern lake (marked 'main lake' on the map) is mostly open water with a small amount of emergent vegetation. In contrast, the southern 'lake' contains little open water throughout most of the year. At one end is an extensive reedbed that is dominated by common reed, whilst at the other there is a small area of saltmarsh community flora. The saltmarsh is of particular botanical interest because this type of habitat has been found at only one other location in Staffordshire. Notable saltmarsh species include reflexed saltmarsh grass, lesser sea spurrey, grey club-rush and buttonweed. The Local Nature Reserve covers an area of approximately 4 hectares and is also identified as a grade 1 Site of Biological Importance (SBI).
The area of land where the balancing lakes are located was once wet meadowland, which flooded regularly. Despite the subsequent changes to the area, evidence can still be found of the access routes that were used to move cattle onto the meadows. In particular, a tunnel in the embankment of the old railway line (at the northern edge of the site) can still be seen clearly today. This old railway line, which used to run to Uttoxeter, is now a picturesque cycle route.
Much of the Astonfields Industrial Estate that lies to the west of the balancing lakes was the site of a salt works until the 1960's. The large poplar trees on the eastern edge of the LNR were originally planted by Sandon Road householders to hide this 'eyesore' and to cut out the smoke the works produced.
The salt works extracted natural saline groundwater and heated this to produce salt. The salt-rich waste materials were then deposited nearby. These deposits, together with the saline groundwater itself, are considered to be the reason for the presence of saltmarsh vegetation on this site.
The northern balancing lake was constructed in the late 1970s to help protect Stafford from flooding. In 1990 this lake was dredged and the southern balancing lake was constructed to increase the flood retention capacity of the site.

Saltmarsh vegetation in Staffordshire
This stand of Grey Club-rush (or Greyish Bulrush) Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani indicates the partly saline nature of this site - see Shared Description of Astonfields Balancing Lakes for an explanation of how this came to be.
The NatureSpot website describes it as 'Mainly coastal in brackish dykes and beside tidal rivers ... Infrequent inland.'
Footpath to Stafford Castle
This public footpath runs alongside Stafford Castle Golf Club, which is on the left, to the grounds of Stafford Castle. It is numbered Stafford 36 in the Staffordshire County Council register of rights of way.
Way for the Millennium
The WFTM route goes west under the M6. This part of the route, Stafford to Gnosall, is easy walking/riding along the route of an old railway. Nearer to Newport the route is not so well maintained.
