Tour de Stoke!
- Location
- Start from the Stoke Library on Putatai Street.
- Description
Relaxing walk through quiet streets and pedestrian pathways of central Stoke. Suitable for wheelchairs and prams.
On the corner outside the library you will find the bronze sculpture 'Oracle'. The hand emerging from the ground in a cradling fashion symbolises Nelson's nurturing landscape and creative environment.
Turn right into Neale Avenue and continue up to the Neale Avenue Reserve where there are swings. Follow the path alongside Poorman Valley Stream, crossing the Railway Reserve, and continuing through to Nayland Road. Turn right into Nayland Road and go past the Swimming Complex. Turn right into Fergusson Street, then right into Cobham Crescent and further along, right into a small lane that leads to the Railway Reserve. Alternatively you can carry on along Fergusson Street to Newall Avenue or Jellicoe Avenue and onto the Railway Reserve, which provides a pedestrian/cycling route that runs almost the entire length of the city. Follow the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walkway all the way back to Songer Street and turn left to return to the Strawbridge Square Carpark.
