Whittington

Whittington is a small village and parish on the edge of the cathedral city of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. It sits around Whittington Heath a few miles north of the city and has a largely rural‑residential character, with farmland, hedgerows and a community life centred on the village church, a pub and occasional local events; many residents commute into Lichfield or further afield for work.

Historically the heath was used for fairs and horse racing and the village is notable for a long‑standing military presence in the form of Whittington Barracks, which has shaped the local economy and identity. Today Whittington combines that military and agricultural heritage with easy access to the amenities and historic attractions of Lichfield, and is popular with people seeking quiet countryside living close to a cathedral city.
