About

The Haywood & Hixon ward encompasses the historic market town of Great Haywood and the adjacent village of Hixon in Stafford Borough. The area is defined by its position at the confluence of the River Trent and the River Sow, with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal also running through it. This network of waterways has historically shaped its development. The landscape includes agricultural land and the wooded grounds of Shugborough Estate on its fringes.

A central feature is Shugborough Hall, an 18th-century mansion and estate now managed by the National Trust, which provides a significant green space. The area is primarily residential with local services centred in the villages. Transport links are notable, with the ward bordered by the A51 road and the West Coast Main Line railway, which includes a major freight interchange near Hixon, a key local employer. The rural character is balanced by these strategic infrastructure elements.
