Location: Oakamoor is a small rural village situated in north Staffordshire. Although it is peaceful today, it has an industrial past that drew on the Churnet Valley’s natural resources, with iron, copper and lumber once central to the local economy. The village now enjoys a laid-back pace centred on community facilities like the cricket club and local pubs, and walking trails are plentiful, including the Staffordshire Way and marked information trails that explore its industrial heritage. Nature lovers will appreciate Cotton Dell’s woodlands, and cyclists can follow a track that runs from Oakamoor to Denstone, complete with tempting tearoom stops along the way. For an outsider unfamiliar with Staffordshire, Oakamoor sits within the picturesque Churnet Valley, a lush landscape sometimes likened to “little Switzerland”. The River Churnet runs through the village and provides a tranquil backdrop for picnics and streamside walks. Nearby is the River Churnet Streamside Walk, a 10‑kilometre route that starts near Oakamoor and follows the river through woodlands and past landmarks such as the Oakamoor Viaduct, a remnant of the North Staffordshire Railway, and the scenic Dimmingsdale forest. Oakamoor is easily accessible via the A52, A50 and A34, which link to the M1, M6 and M42 motorways, and train stations at Blythe Bridge, Stoke‑on‑Trent or Uttoxeter are around 16 km away with regular bus connections to the village. This combination of rural charm and good transport links makes Bolton Lodge a practical base for commuting to regional centres while offering a genuine escape into countryside life.
