Straddling the border where Staffordshire meets Shropshire, Loggerheads is a substantial village that manages to feel tucked away despite its convenient position on the A53. It sits just about five miles east of Market Drayton, functioning as a quiet, residential upland settlement surrounded by deep pockets of woodland. The village name itself is a nod to its history, originally taken from the local inn which depicted three 'loggerheads' (or fools) on its sign – a common heraldic pun. Much of the local life centres around the Burntwood, a sprawling ancient woodland that offers miles of walking trails right on the doorstep. While it has its own shops, a primary school, and a library, the village’s character is defined by its topography; it’s a high, sandstone ridge that provides a sense of openness and clean air, serving as a practical base for those who work in the nearby Potteries or Stafford but prefer the pace of the rural fringe.
