The Roaches

Explore The Roaches

There is a magical landscape just on your doorstep

Hen Cloud Cottages are right in the heart of the famous Roaches. There are numerous beautiful walks around the cottage, some of which start right at the front door. We can give you advice and suggest routes to climb, walk or run!  You’ll soon love The Roaches as much as we do.

The hamlet of Upperhulme is short walk from the cottages with a café and Ye Olde Rock Inn is within walking distance of Hen Cloud Cottages.  The pub serves meals and wonderful hand-pulled ale.

You can book a guided cycle tour on ebikes and learn the skills (and art) of climbing  with The Peak Climbing School; all in tiny Upperhulme.

BBQ ban

A BBQ/Fire ban has been issued by Staffordshire Moorlands Council for the next 3 years from June 2025.

We have to be responsible for our surroundings, wildlife and fire services, therefore no BBQs of any description are allowed on site. 

This isn’t a decision we have made.
