Welcome to Morridge Side

Morridge Side is a small hamlet located in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England. It is situated on the western edge of the Peak District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The hamlet is home to a small number of houses and farms, and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers who come to explore the stunning scenery of the area.

One of the main attractions of Morridge Side is the nearby Roaches, a rocky outcrop that offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. The Roaches are a popular destination for rock climbers and boulderers, and there are a number of routes and problems to suit all levels of ability. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, deer, and rare plants and flowers.

Despite its small size, Morridge Side has a strong sense of community, with a number of local events and activities taking place throughout the year. These include the annual Morridge Side Country Fair, which features traditional crafts, food and drink, and live music and entertainment. The hamlet also has a small church, St. John the Baptist, which dates back to the 12th century and is a popular venue for weddings and other special occasions.
