Meerbrook

Meerbrook (grid reference SJ989609) is a small village in North Staffordshire, on the River Churnet at the edge of the Peak District National Park.

[1] The Roaches and Hen Cloud, popular walking and climbing locations, are very nearby.

The area grew with the expansion of the early medieval wool industry, and the Cistercian Abbey of Dieulacres held three sheep farms in the village.

The adit or sough to provide drainage for the mine is over four miles (6.4 km) long.

Situated between The Roaches and Tittesworth Reservoir, Meerbrook provides a base for a wide variety of outdoor leisure activities.
