The current church was built in 1884-85, replacing an older 13th-century church that was formerly the guest chapel of Croxden Abbey.

Quiet, calm and restful spot with sandy banks. Appeared to be a popular spot for dogs to enjoy a paddle and swim.

A really nice woodland area to explore with plenty of routes, whether you choose to follow the gravel roads or walk through the forest following the footpath signs. A very peaceful and pretty forest. There are some parking spaces just off Oakamoor Road.
