About the neighbourhood
We are told we are in a beautiful area (you don't always appreciate it when you live there) with lots of lovely walks, two good pubs in the village, interesting church with octagonal tower, bird sanctuary, nature reserve and two steam railways within 5 miles. Alton Towers, the Trentham Estate and Monkey Forest, the Potteries, Churnet Valley, Peak District all within half an hours drive. Sadly our 9 folders of tourist information have had to be removed due to Covid 19 so you will need to check details online.
Getting around
Although only 1 mile from the A52 it is about 2 miles to the nearest bus stop and there are no pavements along the A52.so a car is needed.
