South Staffordshire, Administrative district in western Staffordshire, England
South Staffordshire is a rural administrative district in western Staffordshire that stretches between Wolverhampton and Cannock Chase. The area contains scattered villages, woodlands, and open countryside that vary in character from developed town edges to isolated hamlets.
The area was formed in 1974 through the merging of two former rural districts into one administrative unit. This reorganization aimed to streamline local government across the region.
The district maintains fifteen parish councils that organize local events and manage community spaces, fostering strong connections among residents through various seasonal celebrations.
The area is easily reached by car or bus and features scattered villages with shops and services throughout. Visitors will find good walking routes and natural spaces, particularly around Kinver Edge and Cannock Chase.
Kinver Edge contains ancient rock-cut houses that were carved directly into sandstone cliffs. This unusual dwelling form offers visitors a surprising glimpse into how people once lived within the stone itself.
