Welcome to the Staffordshire Moorlands
Crowned by rugged rocks, rolling hills and sweeping valleys, the Staffordshire Moorlands and the Peak District National Park (which takes in the northeast and much of the eastern part of the district), offers a journey of discovery amid some of the UK’s most spectacular scenery. Feel your senses soar with a visit to Flash, Britain’s highest village. Enjoy the magnificent panoramic and breath-taking views of the stunning gritstone peaks of The Roaches. Or how about Cheeks Hill near Three Shires Head which is Staffordshire’s highest point!
While you’re here, why not take some time to explore this hidden gem in the heart of England. And the adventure continues with unlimited opportunities to discover the great outdoors in dazzling Peak District beauty spots and Moorlands landscapes, including The Roaches, Dovedale, the Manifold Valley and the Churnet Valley. Journeys can be made in style, with options including canal boat hire and steam train rides, while country parks offer a leisurely opportunity to get close to nature.
Home to one of the world’s best known theme parks, Alton Towers Resort, this is the place for adrenaline-fuelled action, family fun and an unrivalled range of things to do for all ages.
