The civil parish of Okeover sits in the rural fringes of East Staffordshire in Staffordshire, England. It is tiny in population and largely centred on the historic Okeover Hall and the surrounding Okeover estate, whose listed buildings and parkland give the area much of its character.
The landscape is predominantly agricultural with scattered farmsteads, small woodlands and quiet lanes; the estate has shaped local land use, economy and social life for centuries. With few services of its own the parish remains a tranquil pocket of Staffordshire countryside, valued for its historic fabric, seasonal estate events and opportunities for country walks.
