Horton is a small, quiet parish in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England, set among rolling uplands and mixed farmland on the fringe of the Peak District. The settlement is made up of stone-built cottages, lanes and scattered farms, giving it a distinctly rural character and attractive walking country for visitors.
Historically the area has been shaped by agriculture - sheep and dairy farming - and pockets of quarrying, and today it remains a close-knit community with a parish church and village hall, occasional local events and a population that largely commutes to nearby towns such as Leek or Buxton while welcoming countryside visitors.
