Waterhouses is a village and civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the southern fringe of the Peak District close to the scenic Manifold Valley and within easy reach of the market town of Leek. The setting is distinctly rural, with rolling farmland, limestone outcrops and easy access to well‑used walking and cycling routes.
Its Victorian link to the Leek and Manifold Light Railway lives on as the traffic‑free Manifold Way, a popular draw for visitors, and the surrounding area has historic mining remnants around Ecton. The local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and tourism, and the village retains a close‑knit community feel with the usual village amenities and seasonal events.
