Self-Guided Trails Around Trentham
Traces of Trentham
These interlinked trails take you on a journey through the rich heritage of Trentham, concentrating on its Victorian and Edwardian roots.
Originally a village dominated by the workings of the grand Trentham Hall and surrounding estate,
it has transformed into a dense residential area, but remains in close proximity to the Trentham Estate, a popular leisure destination.
Trentham Hall and its gardens and the wealth of the Dukes of Sutherland are crucial to the history of Trentham,
but you can discover that story within the perimeter of the Gardens. These three trails aim to draw your attention to traces of Trentham that can be found on foot
or online, outside the gardens.
Free trails leaflets can be picked up at various points around the routes or
copies can be downloaded here.
Leaflets contain directions and brief information, but additional facts and images about each trail can be accessed on the links below.
