Overview
Staffordshire is a county of contrasting landscapes, ranging from the gritstone hills on the edge of the Peak District National Park to the edge of the floodplains of the River Trent. This picturesque county offers something for everyone from historic stately homes and beautiful parks dotted with ancient castles, to stunning gardens and exciting theme parks. It is home to Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the largest surviving area of lowland heath in the Midlands, and it has the largest part of the National Forest as well as the Forest of Mercia. All this can be explored on a network of over 4,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways, such as the Staffordshire Way, the Millennium Way and the Heart of England Way.
