The small rural civil parish of Cotton sits in the rolling countryside of the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England. It is characterised by mixed pasture and arable fields, hedgerows and scattered hamlets and farmsteads, with traditional stone cottages and open views towards the hills on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, although many people commute to nearby market towns for work, and community life centres on parish events, the village hall and local pubs. The area’s historic lanes, farm buildings and quiet footpaths reflect centuries of rural life and make Cotton popular with walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful Staffordshire countryside experience.
