All about Staffordshire Moorlands

Located in the foothills of the Pennines around 30 kilometres east of Stoke-on-Trent and less than a 1.5-hour drive from Manchester and Sheffield, Staffordshire Moorlands District in the West Midlands is surrounded by beautiful valleys, rolling green hills, and rugged cliffs. It is home to the towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Biddulph, in addition to the largest theme park in the United Kingdom.

In Cheadle, you can explore the Churnet Valley, where you’ll find the 18th-century Caldon Canal, a historic and vital waterway for the industries based in the area, and the famous Churnet Valley steam railway. Leek is a former textile market town with a cobblestone main square and architectural treasures, including those from the Arts and Crafts movement in the mid-19th century. Biddulph is considered the Garden Town of Staffordshire and is a sea of colour from spring until autumn.

The picturesque landscape surrounding these lovely towns makes Staffordshire Moorlands a popular spot for outdoor activities such as rock climbing, cycling, and sailing. And if you’re hoping to find even more great recreation spots, you can always head just a bit north to the Peak District National Park, one of the UK’s most beloved outdoor destinations with dramatic scenery and expansive views.
