Blackshaw Moor

Blackshaw Moor perches on the Staffordshire moorlands along the A53 between Leek and Buxton, serving as a gateway to the Peak District. The village sits at an elevated position where winter fog and ice are common, whilst summers bring the changeable weather typical of moorland areas. With roughly 60 fast EV chargers nearby and its strategic location on the main route from the Midlands to the Peaks, it's become a useful stopping point for both tourists and commuters. The village's most striking feature is its proximity to the Roaches, the dramatic gritstone ridge that rises sharply from the moor, attracting climbers and walkers to some of Staffordshire's wildest terrain.
