Additionally, to the south you have Alton Towers Theme Park & across to the Potteries.

As a result of all these destinations and attractions, there are a number of established businesses successfully offering tourist and holiday facilities within the immediate area, inclusive of which are shepherd huts, B&B’s, lodges, farmhouse accommodation, camping and cycle hire with increasing popular demand.
