Upper Longdon is a small, elevated village within the civil parish of Longdon, a few miles north of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. Sitting on higher ground, it offers wide views across the surrounding countryside and is close enough to the wooded heathland of Cannock Chase to be popular with walkers and riders; the landscape is a mix of farmland, hedgerows and scattered historic cottages and farmhouses.
Historically agricultural, the settlement today is largely residential with a mix of local farms and small businesses and many residents who commute into nearby towns. Social life tends to centre on village events, the parish church and the village hall, and there are numerous public footpaths and bridleways that give the place a quiet, community-minded rural character.
