Deep Hayes Country Park

About

Deep Hayes Country Park is a country park in Staffordshire, England. It is about 3 miles (4.8 km) south-west of Leek, a short distance south of the A53 road at Longsdon. Its area is 60 acres (24 ha).

Its northern boundary is the Caldon Canal, and is based around three pools (Cumberledge Pool, Park Pool and Hayes Pool), formerly a reservoir. There is a visitor centre, with free parking and toilets. Marked pathways, of varying lengths, lead around the area of the former reservoir.

There is a picnic area. The pools have shoreline rushes and other flora; waterfowl can be seen. Roach, tench and carp have been introduced, and there are invertebrates including dragonflies and damselflies.

There is woodland around the pools, and meadows, which have a diversity of flowering plants, including uncommon species. There is a bird hide.
