What is there to see and do in Staffordshire?

With something for all ages, the sprawling Alton Towers theme park is a real gem with its white-knuckle rollercoasters and array of child-friendly attractions. There’s also Drayton Manor Theme Park and Trentham Monkey Forest, home to more than 100 free-roaming Barbary macaques which live as they would in the wild.

From castles, cathedrals and museums including the National Brewery Centre, to natural highlights such as Cannock Chase Forest, Chasewater Country Park, the Dimmingsdale Valley and Branston Water Park, you’ll also have great access to the spectacular Peak District if you live in northern Staffordshire.

What is education like in Staffordshire?

Sending your little ones to school is likely to be a key concern, and thankfully there are plenty of excellent schools in Staffordshire. Parkside Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School are both good options for younger children if you live in Stafford, according to Ofsted, while Burton’s Thomas Russell Junior School is outstanding and Thursfield Primary School in Stoke is also recommended.

Kids in Stoke can move on to the outstanding Painsley Catholic College when they reach secondary age, while John Taylor High School in Burton is rated just as highly. Stafford’s Wolgarston High School and Lichfield’s King Edward VI School have both received good reports from Ofsted.

How are the transport links in Staffordshire?

The M6 is the only motorway which runs through Staffordshire, but it’s an important one as it heads south towards Birmingham and north past Manchester all the way to Carlisle. Public transport options include local bus and train networks, while Staffordshire County Council encourages sustainable and environmentally friendly travel through things like car sharing and cycle routes.

What is the Staffordshire property scene like?

Staffordshire has a steady property market which has in recent years slightly outperformed the average increase in property prices across England and Wales. That’s thanks in part to excellent new homes you can find in places such as Hanley, where you can pick up affordable 2 bedroom apartments and large, attractive 4 bed detached homes close to the centre of Stoke.

Whether that sounds perfect for you, or you’d rather look at a 3 bed semi in Burntwood or a spacious 5 bed detached on the edge of Cannock Chase in Hednesford, don’t forget to see if you could benefit from a scheme like our Movemaker offer, where we cover any agent’s fees for you.

Whether you’re looking for your first home or a new home for your growing family, our West Midlands property guide is here to help.
