Penkridge is a conservation area in the heart of rural Staffordshire which gave inspiration to JRR Tolkien while writing The Lord of the Rings. Once known as the capital of England, the area has a population of over 8,000 and is home to Rodbaston Agricultural College. It has a strong village feel and community focus.

With a unique blend of old and new housing, Huntington borders Cannock Chase.

Local police also cover Acton Trussell, Calf Heath, Coppenhall, Dunston, Hatherton, Gailey, Levedale, Mitton, Rodbaston and Teddesley Park.
