Ilam is a small village and civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the limestone dales that lead into the Peak District National Park. The village is dominated by the historic Ilam Hall and surrounding Ilam Park, much of which is cared for by the National Trust, and it lies close to popular walking spots such as Dovedale and the River Manifold.
Locally the economy is largely rural, with farming alongside visitor-focused businesses - holiday lets, cafés and outdoor pursuits catering for walkers and day-trippers - and the community retains a quiet village feel with a handful of listed buildings and a small local church. The mix of attractive parkland, dramatic limestone scenery and easy access to trails makes Ilam a small but well-known base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
