Checkley is a largely rural civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, in Staffordshire, England. Set among rolling farmland and hedged lanes, it sits within easy reach of larger centres such as Stoke-on-Trent and Uttoxeter and lies not far from the southern fringe of the Peak District, which gives the area a pleasant mix of agricultural lowland and moorland influence.
The parish has a long history reflected in its listed buildings and a traditional village core where community life often revolves around a village hall, a church and local events. The local economy remains rooted in agriculture and small-scale enterprises, while many residents commute to nearby towns; the quiet lanes and public rights of way make the area popular with walkers and cyclists seeking countryside close to urban centres.
