A peaceful village in the Staffordshire Moorlands

The parish is centred around Church Leigh and includes a number of smaller hamlets, with the River Blithe and surrounding farmland adding to its picturesque rural character. It’s an ideal setting for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life, with plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.

Despite its rural feel, Leigh is conveniently positioned for access to Uttoxeter, Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent, while the nearby A50 provides an important road link towards the wider Midlands and beyond. Church Leigh is around six miles from Uttoxeter and approximately 14 miles from Stafford.

For families, All Saints CE First School is located in Church Leigh, providing a local primary education option within the village itself.

With its peaceful surroundings, attractive countryside and convenient connections, Leigh offers the best of both worlds — a tranquil rural lifestyle without feeling cut off from everyday amenities and larger centres.
