Staffordshire, often overshadowed by its larger neighbours, offers a rich tapestry of history, industry, and the great outdoors. Known as the home of British ceramics, a trip to the Potteries is a must for lovers of art and craftsmanship. Stoke-on-Trent’s museums and working pottery studios celebrate a heritage that gave the world Wedgwood and Spode.
For nature enthusiasts, the Peak District’s south-western edge spills into Staffordshire, offering dramatic walks and views at The Roaches. Cannock Chase, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is perfect for cycling and forest escapes. Thrill-seekers, meanwhile, can’t miss Alton Towers, the UK’s most famous theme park.
Don’t overlook Stafford, the county town, with its impressive castle ruins and riverside charm, or Lichfield, whose stunning cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece. Pair all this with friendly locals and hearty Midlands fare, and you’ll find Staffordshire a treasure waiting to be unearthed.
