I spent so many hours here as a child. It’s the perfect place for a walk with kids and dogs and picnics in the summer. There’s a cafe and water sports available.

The Roaches in Staffordshire are absolutely gorgeous. The views are incredible and it’s a must visit location in the area. I had a fab day out there a couple of years ago and really need to go again soon.

The Belfry is most known for its golf course. But the hotel is also a popular place to stay. I’ve stayed here for a night and the rooms and staff were lovely. I didn’t get to use the spa but a friend of mine has been there a few times and loves it.

I went here so many times when I was a child. I used to think it was miles away from where I lived, turned out it was only 20 minutes back then! It’s a gorgeous walk most known for the stepping stones across the brook.
Seven Springs Cannock Chase
Lichfield Cathedral is just beautiful. A must see place if you’re in Staffordshire. Lots of old building to see in the town plus a regular local market. Throughout the year there are specialist markets too.
