About

Dane ward lies in the northernmost part of the Staffordshire Moorlands district. It is a large, predominantly rural area that includes the small town of Biddulph and several surrounding villages and hamlets. The landscape is shaped by the upper valleys of the River Dane and its tributaries, with elevated moorland defining its western edges. The area's economy has historically been connected to agriculture and textiles.

A significant feature is the Biddulph Grange Country Park, with its notable Victorian gardens that reflect global horticultural themes. The ward's settlements, such as Gillow Heath and Knypersley, are often characterised by local stone buildings. The topography includes the slopes of Mow Cop, a distinctive hill with a historic folly that marks the county boundary with Cheshire.
