I think you'll find the bottom right sticky out bit of this Stafford map is South West of Brocton, Milford and Colwich which means part of the Chase between Milford and Wolseley Bridge area are in Stafford so I'm going to include the Chase as one of the things I like about Stafford.Miss Red said:

Gramaisc - where did you get that map? I'm sure that I've seen that before, which is what made me think Trentham was part of Stafford Borough.
So it appears we can claim Trentham and Cannock Chase as part of Stafford, but frankly even if we couldn't, I still think we have a lot of great things to shout about.

I like the fact that Stafford is a medium sized town in the sense I don't feel over rawed being here compared to big cities nor too small to get a small town mentality.
We have a good college and university,nightlife is pretty good and improving.
We have a mainline train station with direct trains to many towns and cities.
Only 5 minute drive into lovely countryside
Fewer chavs than other towns(but still too many)

To me, Stafford is the area inside the thirty mph speed limit signs - Stafford Borough may well extend well beyond that, but I still think of it as outside Stafford proper, once you're out of the thirty limit..Miss Red said:
There are some 'grey' forty mph areas these days - in my system.

Some years ago there was a 'Visit Staffordshire' tourism promotion brochure with a lovely picture of the mouth of Dovedale on the cover - unfortunately, the only bit of Staffordshire that was in the picture was the bit of the grass bank that the photographer was standing on - the rest was Derbyshire, not the it really mattered, but they could have faced the other way a little...Withnail said:
Most people think of Derbyshire when you mention the Peak District but a good chunk of it is in the Staffordshire Moorlands.When my daughter did her D of E weekend I dropped her off at the old Mermaid pub(now converted to self catering units) about 3 miles outside Leek, what a stunning location high above the Roaches.Gramaisc said:

Absolutely, the Staffordshire Peak District is really nice. Some nice walks around the likes of Ecton Hill and Wetton. Last Oct also did walk from Heathcote - Hartington - Longnor (stopped to sample coffee shop) - Earl Sterndale then bus back, after partaking of the Quiet Woman in Earl Sterndale. Quite a good walk that was.andy w said:

Cannock Chase (I class Milford/Brocton as Stafford) and all the lovely countryside surrounding Stafford.
Within a few minutes from my door I can be walking down bridle paths to the chase, along canal towpaths, around fields, through woods.......
