To the south, approx 12 miles is Lichfield with its spires, excellent shopping and Garrick Theatre, a short drive up to Alrewas brings you to The National Memorial Arboretum.

To the west is Shugborough Hall and the vast open area of Cannock Chase where many soldiers were trained ready to go to war in the 1940s. A truly superb area for walking and cycling.
