20050601 Secret England

Flash, Staffordshire

This is an area called The Staffordshire Moorlands - part of the Peak National Park.

Staffordshire was recently assessed as the worst English county to live in based on a 'Quality of Life' score!

But Staffordshire is my home county and where the Waine's have been recorded since records began in the 1500's.

This wonderful (largely unspoilt) area lies between Birmingham and Manchester, and just off the picture lies the highest village in Britain - Flash (great name for a small village, eh?)

The local beers, cheese and 'Oatcakes' justify a visit to this secret corner, as well as views like this!

I've never thought of Staffordshire as a holiday destination, but this is beautiful.
We have a lake near us called 'Great Bottom Flash'....

A beautiful landscape and 'Flash' is a great name for a village - so unusual.

As long as it's thought of that way your safe, John. Of course you only have to look at this shot to know they know nothing of what they say :>)
Flash sounds interesting. Any chance of a photo & some history behind the name..please :>)

Rolling hills, narrow lanes and no passing places, can't beat it! Nice shot, remids me of North Yorkshire!
