Our starting point for the TRENT100 challenge will be on the edge of the Shugborough Hall Estate.  Shugborough Hall is a stately home near Great Haywood, Staffordshire, England. The hall is situated on the edge of Cannock Chase, about 4 miles east of Stafford.

Our meeting point for breakfast and a very short walk to the start of your adventure will be the Clifford Arms in Great Haywood.  This is a great traditional village pub with loads of history dating back to the 17th century.

The sandstone outcrop once formed part of the banks of the River Trent and the caves were formed by the action of the river on the rock. The course of the river has altered and left the caves opening onto a backwater pool.
