About Waterfall

Waterfall’s name hints at the very essence of its being, a place where water shapes the land. It lies 10.7 km east-south-east of Leek (from Leek: bearing 118°T, OS grid SK 080 514), and is situated north of Waterhouses village. The surrounding Staffordshire Moorlands, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offer a landscape of high moorland, crisscrossed by ancient dry-stone walls, where the light can shift dramatically, painting the heather and bracken in hues of gold and rust. Though no grand abbey or castle dominates the skyline, the quiet presence of St. Michael's Church, its stone weathered by centuries of wind and rain, anchors the village. Life here unfolds with a gentle persistence, much like the slow erosion that has sculpted these hills, and one can still sense the echoes of a past tied to the land and its modest resources, a quiet dignity in its unassuming presence.
