Great road and rail connections
Birmingham is just 20 miles to the south and Stafford is 10 miles to the north. The M6 passes to the west, the M6 Toll heads down to Rugby (40 miles). To the south the A5 links to the M54 to Telford (22 miles) and onwards to the Welsh borders. The A34 passes right through the town linking Walsall (10 miles) and Stafford (10 miles). The A460 towards Rugeley bisects the pretty countryside of Cannock Chase making it easy to take advantage of its walking, hiking and biking trails right on your doorstep.
Why drive from your new build when you can take the train? Train services from the railway station are on the Rugeley, Cannock, Walsall and Birmingham line. It takes around 40 minutes to travel by train into Birmingham, and just over an hour to get into Stafford.

If you'd like to jet off from your new house, Birmingham International Airport is about an hour’s drive away.
