Just off Cook's Hollow on the Ashbourne to Leek Turnpike in Staffordshire. This is the North Staffordshire Railway Link
line from Leekbrook to Waterhouses and Cauldon - see SJ9653 : Wall Grange & Longsdon station, North Staffs., SJ9954 : Disused railway near Ashenhurst Ford and SK0154 : Disused railway.
