A short hop away from Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Telford is the hidden gem of South Staffordshire, with its heavenly landscapes, revealing Royal stories, splendid stately homes and more!
The 17th Century grandeur of Weston Park is a real life Downton Abbey, offering tantalising behind-the-scenes tours, tasty treats in The Granary Grill & Deli, and exhibitions from established and up-and-coming artists.
The sweeping estate is home to some of the largest events in the Midlands, such as the V Festival, where some of the world’s biggest-selling acts have performed to thousands of revellers, plus the Midland Game Fair and the Great British Food Festival.
Why not take a romantic stroll through Capability Brown parkland, or entertain the children in the Woodland Adventure Playground, with one of the longest double zip wires in the country?
Discover outdoor fun and Royal secrets behind oak-panelled walls at Moseley Old Hall, and beautiful informal gardens and orchards at Wightwick Manor.
Enjoy more wide open spaces at Baggeridge Country Park, offering adventure on the high ropes courses and mountain bike trails, combined with plenty of room to escape the action.
Amble along the South Staffordshire Railway Walk, a great spot for some quality saddle time on your bike or on horseback.
Soak in panoramic views of four counties at the National Trust’s Kinver Edge, where you can explore the fascinating sandstone dwellings at the Rockhouses and spot species of all shapes and sizes.
Animal adventures abound at Rodbaston Animal Zone and Lower Drayton Farm, while you can get your hands on the best Staffordshire produce at Essington Farm, Halfpenny Green Vineyards and Penkridge Market.
Indulge in a romantic meal at The Orangery Restaurant at the Moat House Acton Trussell, or devour the mouth-watering menus at the award-winning Red Lion Bradley, home of Staffordshire’s Afternoon Tea of the Year 2017.
And for a longer break, head for the canalside lodge and caravans at Oakland Holiday Park, camp under the stars at Pillaton Hall Farm, or grab some me-time with a decadent getaway at Dunsley Hall.
