The village is on the Shropshire Union Canal where traditional narrow boats can be seen (from two canal-side pubs if you wish).
Village activities include fetes, barn dances, etc. There are other beautiful villages nearby.

There is a good bus service to Stafford, Newport, Telford and Shrewsbury and easy access by road to Stafford (railway station, theatre, cinema, music venues, sports centre, shopping.

Nearby, you’ll find Stoke on Trent, Wedgewood Museum, very good shopping and excellent theatres for both music and drama.

We are not far from the Peak District National Park which has stunning countryside.

We are a large, close family who like nothing better than to get together and to enjoy ourselves.

Having retired from my business as a lawyer and family mediator, I am in the process of re-training to teach English.

I have recently returned from a volunteering trip in India. I taught English and ran a children’s project with another volunteer.”
