Blore with Swinscoe is a small, rural parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Peak District. It comprises a couple of tiny hamlets and scattered farms set among rolling limestone dales and quiet lanes, with the kind of traditional stone cottages, dry-stone walls and streams that make it popular with walkers and photographers.
Life here is largely agricultural, but the parish benefits from steady low-key tourism thanks to nearby attractions such as Dovedale and other Peak District walking country; historic farmhouses and a small village church hint at a long settlement history. Services are limited so the community tends to be close-knit, relying on nearby market towns while preserving a strong sense of rural character and conservation of the landscape.
