Staffordshire
Are you looking for a new home in Staffordshire?
Staffordshire may be land-locked, but it’s the keyholder to the North West’s major routes, bridging the gap between city and countryside. The key to your new home will open up both lifestyles.
To the south it’s shoulder to shoulder with Birmingham and Wolverhampton and to the north-west with Liverpool and Manchester. With an important industrial heritage of its own, the main towns – Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Burton-upon-Trent and Cannock - still work hard, however this is a largely rural county. The Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is central to an outdoors lifestyle here. It’s home to the first dedicated mountain bike trail, creatively named Follow the Dog! Take a lead from this inspiration to let off steam and get away from it all. You can just as easily head north into the Peak District National Park or south-west into the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The M6 plays a leading role in the economy of the Midlands and the North West. West Midlands Railway and Virgin Rail follow its route. If you really want to take off, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Birmingham City Airport are your closest.
