About

Checkley ward encompasses a largely rural area within the Staffordshire Moorlands, characterised by farmland, small settlements, and woodland. The landscape is defined by the upper reaches of the River Tean and the Churnet Valley, with its topography ranging from rolling fields to more pronounced slopes. The ward includes the villages of Checkley and Tean, which serve as local centres with essential services and residential streets. The area maintains a quiet, agricultural character, with scattered farms and historic buildings dotting the countryside.

A notable local landmark is the ancient Checkley Church, with its distinctive spire visible across the surrounding fields. The ward's network of narrow lanes and public footpaths connects its communities and provides access to the local scenery. Economic activity is primarily linked to agriculture and small-scale local businesses, with some light industry present. The area remains separate from the larger urban centres of the district, preserving its own quiet pace and community-focused identity.
