Rodbaston is a small rural hamlet in South Staffordshire, in the county of Staffordshire, England, lying close to the village of Penkridge and within easy reach of Stafford. It sits amid gently rolling farmland and retains a quiet, agricultural character rather than a built‑up village centre.
The area is best known for its land‑based education and training campus - the Rodbaston campus of Staffordshire University - with farms and facilities for animal care, veterinary nursing and countryside management, so agriculture and education shape much of the local economy and community life; historically it grew from farmsteads and estate land and still hosts occasional training events and rural shows.
