Croxden is a small rural civil parish in East Staffordshire, in the county of Staffordshire, England. It sits among rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes, with a dispersed pattern of farms and cottages rather than a defined village centre.
The parish is best known for the atmospheric ruins of Croxden Abbey, a 12th-century Cistercian house whose stones and earthworks are cared for as a heritage site and attract walkers and history enthusiasts; the local economy remains largely agricultural and community life is modest, with residents typically looking to nearby towns for shops and services.
