Welcome to Heron Cross

Heron Cross is a small village located in the county of Staffordshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent and is known for its beautiful countryside and peaceful surroundings. The village has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was first established as a farming community. Today, Heron Cross is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike who come to enjoy its scenic beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

One of the main attractions of Heron Cross is its stunning countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque woodlands, making it the perfect place for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities.
