Morridge

The walk up Morridge from Leek is one of those steady climbs that doesn't announce itself as dramatic until you're halfway up and realise the town's already shrunk behind you. It's moorland walking at its most straightforward - grassy paths, decent visibility on clear days, and views that stretch across Staffordshire and into the Peak District proper. The summit itself sits at 1,497 feet, which is high enough to feel like proper achievement without requiring technical gear or scrambling.

You'll find a trig point at the top and, on a decent day, sight lines that make the climb worthwhile. It's the sort of walk that suits families with older kids and anyone who likes their exercise without the faffing about - a round trip takes roughly two hours depending on your pace and where you start from. The moorland can be bog-prone after rain, so pick your footwear accordingly.

This sits well within a Derbyshire caravan holiday. Leek's close enough that you could base yourself at Blackshaw Moor Caravan and Motorhome Club or Leek Camping and Caravanning Club Site and knock out the walk before lunch. It's not a showstopper on its own - you won't spend hours up here - but it's exactly what people come to the Peak for: straightforward, honest moorland with enough elevation to feel like you've done something. Pair it with other walks in the area and you've got a proper day sorted.
