Alternatively, you can experience the hustle and bustle of Birmingham in around 35min. A 2h drive away, hikers and mountain climbers alike can visit Snowdonia National Park in Wales, home to the country’s highest mountain – Mount Snowdon.
  • The closest airport to Stafford is Birmingham International, which is a little under 40 miles away.

The journey should take no longer than 45min in normal traffic.
  • Staffordshire is an old Anglo-Saxon town comprised of narrow cobbled streets that should be driven with caution. During busy periods like Saturday mornings, the town can have lots of pedestrians to watch out for. Roads are well-maintained and signs are clear, although you may find adding a sat-nav to your car hire in Stafford useful if you’re not familiar with the area. The country roads surrounding Stafford can be narrow, winding and slow due to farming vehicles. Always be mindful when overtaking and only do so when there’s a clear view ahead.
  • In general, traffic in Stafford is relatively normal. Queues are likely at traffic lights and busy junctions, although it’s not usually chaotic.
