Ipstones is a rural ward in Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England, centred on a small village set on upland gritstone and heath. The area takes in the dramatic escarpment known as Ipstones Edge, prized by walkers for wide panoramas over the fringes of the Peak District and patchwork of moor, pasture and stone-built hamlets.
Locally the character is agricultural with a history of small-scale quarrying and rural trades, but tourism and outdoor recreation now add to the economy. The community is compact and village-focused, with traditional stone cottages, a parish church and village amenities, and residents commonly look to nearby market towns such as Cheadle and Leek for services and markets.
