South Staffordshire

South Staffordshire is a local government district in the West Midlands region of England that covers a mix of market towns, villages and farmland. Towns such as Codsall, Penkridge, Brewood, Wombourne and Kinver form its settlement pattern, with parish churches, village halls and market traditions reflecting long local histories. The district is administered at district level and contains a network of lanes and minor roads that link settlements to larger transport routes beyond its boundary.

The landscape includes woodlands, hedged fields and stretches of heath and sandstone. Kinver Edge sits on the district’s western fringe and contains the hollowed rock houses carved into the sandstone slope, while Baggeridge Country Park near Wombourne occupies a reclaimed colliery site with lakes and mature woodland. River corridors and public footpaths provide local access for walking and wildlife observation, and small heritage sites and farmsteads are dispersed across the district.
