Once you’ve visited Stafford Castle and the Ancient High House, you can head out to the historic Snugborough Estate for the day, or take in the scenic views at Cannock Chase, which can be reached in as little as 15-20min by car. Alternatively, you can experience the hustle and bustle of Birmingham in around 35min.

The journey should take no longer than 45min in normal traffic.
