Forsbrook is a village and civil parish in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England, lying a few miles south of Stoke-on-Trent and close to Cheadle and Blythe Bridge. It sits amid gently rolling farmland at the edge of the moorland district, with straightforward road links towards Uttoxeter and the A50, and the Peak District is within easy reach for day visits.
Originally a small agricultural and roadside settlement, Forsbrook still shows village features such as a green, a parish church, a village hall and local pubs; community groups and events play a noticeable part in local life. Today it largely functions as a commuter village for nearby towns while sustaining local farms and small businesses, offering a quietly rural atmosphere with a few historic buildings and a strong sense of local community.
