Barton-under-Needwood sits in the gentle countryside of East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, close to the old woodland of Needwood Forest and within easy reach of Burton upon Trent and Lichfield. The village is straddled by the leisure waters and moorings at Barton Marina and benefits from the nearby Trent and Mersey Canal, which gives a pleasant mix of rural walks, boating and wildlife on its doorstep.
Historically a small agricultural settlement with medieval roots, the community has grown into a lively commuter village while retaining a strong local identity: a parish church, schools, sports clubs and a busy calendar of village events. Local shops, pubs and small businesses keep the centre active, and many residents point to the mix of countryside access and good transport links as what makes the place particularly attractive.
