Boating on the Rushall Canal in Walsall

Staffordshire is alive with things to do and discover, from stately homes and museums to scenic lakes and historic canal architecture.

For fun in the great outdoors visit Rudyard Lake, a scenic spot for walking, sailing, rowing or simply sitting and admiring the view. Nearby Birmingham is choc-a-bloc with visitor destinations of a more urban persuasion, but there's a lot to be said for taking time out in rural Staffordshire.
