Armitage with Handsacre is a civil parish in the district of Lichfield, in Staffordshire, England, made up mainly of the two adjoining villages Armitage and Handsacre. It sits beside the Trent and Mersey Canal and close to the River Trent, giving the area a strong canalside character with towpath walks, moorings and boating traffic; the settlements are also within easy commuting distance of Birmingham and the nearby town of Rugeley.
The parish combines rural and residential life - historically linked to local pottery manufacture and agriculture - with an active village community centred on pubs, a village hall and sports clubs. Green corridors to Cannock Chase and proximity to the National Memorial Arboretum make it popular with walkers and families, while light industry and small businesses provide local employment alongside commuter households.
