Maer is a small, largely rural civil parish in the district of Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Staffordshire, England. The landscape is dominated by farmland, pockets of woodland and the historic estate of Maer Hall with its notable pool and estate woodlands, giving the area a quietly scenic, semi-remote feel while still lying within easy reach of nearby towns.
The parish is best known for its historic connections to the Wedgwood family and the fact that Emma Darwin spent time at Maer Hall, with Charles Darwin among the visitors over the years. Today it remains a small, close-knit community with a largely agricultural and commuter character, prized for country walks, listed buildings and the sense of rural heritage rather than for any large commercial centre.
