The quaint village of Oakamoor, which is impeccably kept up and just received Conservation Area designation, is situated in the Staffordshire Moorlands' lovely and tranquil Churnet Valley. It is a great starting point for walkers, ramblers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts because, as the name implies, it is surrounded by woodland. There are many public footpaths, many of which merge in "Woods and Ways" and "Heritage" Trails throughout the hamlet. The historic railway line that runs alongside the River Churnet from Oakamoor Picnic Area to Denstone is ideal for leisurely cycling and strolling. In the village proper, there are nice spots for picnics, and there is a good bar in the middle of the community. Situated between the charming market towns of Ashbourne and Leek, all of which are within a 15-minute drive and provide a variety of charming antique shops, independent retailers, markets, and excellent pubs and restaurants. It is also simple to go to historic sites like Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Sudbury Hall, Calke Abbey, and Shugborough Hall, as well as the several wonderful Peak District villages like Ilam, Hartington, Tissington, which is well-known for its well dressings, and the spa town of Buxton.
