Staffordshire is a county that sits in the West Midlands and has borders of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, along with Worcestershire, Shropshire and Warwickshire. Stafford town was chartered way back in 1206, and played an important role in much of history, especially during the Civil War. So, it's easy to say that you'll find yourself surrounded by so much to do and plenty of countryside beauty. Whilst you might know the name to be associated with its namesake breed of dog, there is so much more to do in Staffordshire, from spending an afternoon in a city to soaking in the marvels of the historical attractions. Some of the top attractions in Staffordshire include day trips to Alton Towers and Drayton Manor theme parks, along with a fun afternoon out at Trentham Monkey Forest and exploring the Peak Wildlife Park.
