About

Churnet ward covers a largely rural area in the Staffordshire Moorlands, characterised by its deep river valley and surrounding upland landscapes. The land is primarily used for agriculture, with scattered farms and small settlements. The ward includes the historic market town of Leek, which serves as a significant local service centre for the wider area.

A notable feature is the preserved Churnet Valley Railway, a heritage steam line that runs through the scenic valley. The landscape also contains sections of the Caldon Canal, which follows a similar route. Forestry plantations and former quarrying sites contribute to the varied land use within this part of the Moorlands.
