Central location
Penkridge is to the south of Staffordshire but in the middle of the West Midlands. It has the rural county of Shropshire to the west and the contrast of all the urban areas that make up Birmingham to the south. The M6, M6 Toll and M54 make up the local motorway network, connecting with the M5, M40 and M1 below Birmingham. Regular regional and national train services from Penkridge Station add to the popularity of the town as a home base.
Close to home
You’ll have plenty of local amenities here. There’s a large Co-operative supermarket, independent shops, cafes and pubs. The range of schools in the town include first schools, a middle school and two high schools. For a major shopping trip, a train into Birmingham city centre couldn’t be easier. It only takes about 40 minutes.
Away for the day
If you want a change from city life, the Cannock Chace Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just under 6 miles away. It’s often called the Jewel of the West Midlands and is a great space for a family day out. In the opposite direction, you can explore the unspoilt countryside of Shropshire, exploring the Severn Valley and the Shropshire Hills.
