Alrewas is a largely rural parish in the Lichfield district of Staffordshire, set where the Trent and Mersey Canal and the River Trent thread through low-lying farmland and historic village streets. It is best known for hosting the National Memorial Arboretum, a nationally important site of remembrance that draws visitors from across the UK, while the canal towpaths and surrounding lanes make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
The settlement retains a strong village character with a range of historic buildings, a conservation area and an active community life centred on local events, pubs and small businesses; agriculture and commuter links to nearby towns underpin the local economy. Historic touches such as an ancient parish church and timber-framed houses sit alongside modern amenities, giving Alrewas a blend of heritage and contemporary village living.
