Staffordshire Moorlands

Staffordshire Moorlands has served as a local-government district in northern Staffordshire since 1974. It spans moorland and upland farmland, with part of the Peak District National Park within its boundaries and the River Churnet running through the area. Leek, the administrative centre, developed as a market and silk town, while the Churnet Valley recalls the region’s industrial past. Walking routes, market towns and stone-built settlements give this part of England a strongly rural character despite its proximity to Stoke-on-Trent.
