Staffordshire

Moorlands, River Valleys, Woodland Landscapes, and Historic Routes

From the uplands of the Staffordshire Moorlands to the woodlands, river valleys, and rolling countryside of the south, Staffordshire contains a network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, industry, farming, and centuries of movement through the heart of England. Routes such as the Staffordshire Way, Heart of England Way, and sections of the Two Saints Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including the Peak District National Park, Cannock Chase National Landscape, and the Staffordshire Moorlands showcase some of the county's most distinctive natural settings.

Moorland, woodland, river valleys, farmland, historic market towns, and former industrial landscapes combine to create a varied county shaped by both nature and history. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of Staffordshire while providing opportunities for self-guided travel and slower exploration.
