The woodland walks are calm and peaceful. They may lead you to the memorial garden, the little lakes or just interesting paths.

The paths leading away from Keele hall towards the M6 reveal yet more lakes and streams and very interesting plantings.

I only had an hour so i need to return for further explorations.

The lakes hold a few birds and generally sit very well into the landscape. You have the constant companionship of the squirrels as they gather their harvest.

A recent discovery for me, and why did i not know this before, is the 10 year tenure of the Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich, grandson of Tsar Nicholas the 1st. His morganitic marriage meant he was exiled from Russia (4 previous marriage requests had been turned down) he landed at Keele hall renting from the Sneyd family.

His exile no doubt saved him from the fate of his 3 brothers, all killed by the bolsheviks following the October revolution.

If i can find out more i shall. I feel a story is in there somewhere as he became a local figure. He entertained Edward 3rd at the hall, unveiled a statue of Queen Victoria and became well known in his 'elevated' circles.

When I was going to university Keele was the place one went to if nowhere else would accept you. How times have changed. The university is really going places and I can genuinely say that I wish I was going there....
The campus is lovely and range of courses is well suited to the modern age. Great that there is a vet school there now! Medical school is especially suited to current requirements. There is a foundation year that allows students to gain that extra confidence before starting their full degree. Impressive.

Beautiful grounds, excellent lecturers & course content, very nice safe student accommodation, great facilities, well-organised administration, strong options for study abroad for a year as part of degree and to work abroad in a related industry. Very impressive open day - the best I have been to.

Great university, well laid out and signposted, lots of parking and support for students while being situated in some beautiful grounds.

I love this place, truly beautiful, and Stan (my dog) absolutely loves walks round the lake.
