Rolleston on Dove sits in a pocket of Staffordshire countryside just north of Burton, tucked into the curve where the River Dove provides a natural boundary with Derbyshire. It’s a village that has managed to keep its own identity, largely thanks to the legacy of the Mosley family, whose former estate, Rolleston Hall, still dictates much of the local geography through its surviving gatehouses and the sprawling Jinny Nature Trail - a wooded walk following the route of the old railway line. The village centre is clustered around the Alder Brook, which runs past the Spread Eagle and the Church of Saint Mary, a building that dates back to the 12th century. It’s a practical place to live; you have the essential post office and local shops within walking distance, yet you’re only a few minutes' drive from the A38, making it easy to reach Derby or Birmingham. While the hall itself is long gone, the layout of the village remains defined by wide, tree-lined verges and a sense of space that’s becoming harder to find in the Midlands.
