Staffordshire is a landlocked county in the Midlands of
England. The county town is Stafford. Part of the National Forest lies within its borders. It adjoins the ceremonial counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Shropshire.
The historic county of Staffordshire included Wolverhampton, Walsall, and West Bromwich, these
were removed in 1974 to the new county of West Midlands. Further, Stoke-on-Trent was
removed in the 1990s to form a unitary authority, but is still considered part of Staffordshire for ceremonial purposes.
Major conurbations in Staffordshire include Stoke-on-Trent, Burton-upon-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Tamworth and Stafford itself.
Staffordshire is divided into a number of districts. These are Cannock Chase, East
Staffordshire, Lichfield, Newcastle-under-Lyme, South Staffordshire, Stafford, Staffordshire
Moorlands and Tamworth.
