The civil parish of Whittington sits just to the north of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England, occupying a mix of low heathland and rolling farmland. The open sweep of Whittington Heath is a notable local feature - once the setting for Lichfield race meetings - and the area’s rural character is balanced by relatively easy road links into the cathedral city, making it popular with commuters and local farmers alike.
Whittington has a long, quiet history and a recognisable military presence thanks to Whittington Barracks, which has shaped parts of the parish for over a century. Today the community centres on the village church, a village hall and a few pubs and small businesses, with parish council activity and conservation-minded residents helping to preserve both the historic lanes and the heathland landscape.
