    I've done it from Stoke - bus from the station to Hanley bus station, bus to Cheddleton, then walk down the hill. Not the simplest or quickest, and about a mile uphill from the station afterwards as well isn't ideal.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    An alternative option is you can walk down the canal towpath which skirts Cheddleton village and also meets up with the road at The Flintlock, which is conveniently close to a bus stop. It's a similar distance walk but avoids the steep hill.

    I did the same journey you describe many times from Stoke station when volunteering.
