Fawfieldhead is a small, sparsely populated upland parish in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands, within Staffordshire in England. The landscape is dominated by rolling moorland and pasture with scattered stone farmsteads and quiet lanes, giving it a remote, rural feel that appeals to walkers and cyclists; it sits close to the edges of the Peak District, so there’s a sense of wildness combined with cultivated farmland.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural, with tourism and outdoor recreation playing a supporting role, and the built environment reflects a long agricultural history in small farms and vernacular stone buildings. Socially it remains a tight-knit, low-density community where historic boundaries and lanes still shape everyday life, and visitors come for peace, scenery and easy access to nearby trails.
