The small civil parish of Wigginton and Hopwas sits in the district of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England, tucked between the cathedral city of Lichfield and the town of Tamworth. The area is largely rural, straddling the River Tame and crossed by the region’s canal network, with surrounding woodlands, meadows and towpaths that make it popular for walking, boating and countryside recreation; Cannock Chase lies within easy reach as a larger outdoor attraction.
Both villages retain historic cores with a number of older buildings and a strong agricultural legacy, but many residents now commute to nearby centres such as Birmingham and Lichfield. Local life is quietly community‑minded, centred on village halls, pubs and seasonal events, while small businesses, farming and leisure uses along the river and canals help define the parish’s economy and character.
