''Consall Woods is a wonderful place to explore. This once industrial valley has again taken on nature's mantle and is now a wonderfully rich mixture of wood pasture, pools and mature woodland, nestled alongside the River Churnet.

In early Spring, the valleys woodland flowers are enchanting and in the Summer it’s a real joy to see the returning flycatchers and redstarts come to breed.

Evidence of the past industry may be seen all year round as the Caldon canal and Churnet Valley preserved steam railway, both make their way through the valley.''
