Wetley Rocks is a small village in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, in Staffordshire, England, notable for the gritstone outcrop that gives the place its name and for sitting on a ridge with broad views across the surrounding countryside. The rocky outcrops are a local landmark and reflect the area's millstone‑grit geology; historically the locality has been shaped by agriculture and small‑scale quarrying and stoneworking linked to that geology.
Today Wetley Rocks retains a rural village character while functioning largely as a residential and commuter community between nearby towns such as Leek and Biddulph, and it lies close to the western fringes of the Peak District, making it popular with walkers and people seeking countryside living within reach of Stoke‑on‑Trent and other centres of employment. Community life centres on local amenities, parish activities and the country lanes and footpaths that cross the moorland landscape.
