Manifold Way
- See main article: Manifold Way
The Manifold Way is an 8-mile (13 km) long-distance footpath from Hulme End to Waterhouses, along the former route of the narrow gauge (2' 6") Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway which operated between 1904 and 1934. Opened in July 1937 after the LMS handed over the trackbed to Staffordshire County Council, it is tarmacked throughout.
The Manifold Valley Visitor Centre is housed in Hulme End Station, which also has a model of the railway.

Famous quotes containing the word manifold:
“Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“Civilisation is hooped together, brought
Under a rule, under the semblance of peace
By manifold illusion....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
