Rakeway Staffordshire Map

About Rakeway

Rakeway, a quiet corner of the Staffordshire Moorlands, possesses a character all its own. It lies 1.3 km south-east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 139°T, OS grid SK 019 421). The land around Rakeway gently slopes, allowing the wide Staffordshire sky to dominate the view, and the light, when it breaks through the clouds, can cast a surprisingly warm glow upon the scattered farms and cottages. Though small, Rakeway speaks of a history tied to the land, with its origins likely rooted in the agricultural patterns that have shaped this district for centuries. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of ploughed fields, a subtle reminder of the enduring connection between the hamlet and its rural surroundings. While no grand monuments mark its presence, the simple, sturdy architecture of its dwellings suggests a practicality and resilience that has served Rakeway well.
