Welcome to Cauldon

Cauldon is a small village located in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England. The village is situated on the River Churnet and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic pottery industry, which dates back to the 18th century. The Cauldon Pottery was established in the village in 1802 and produced high-quality earthenware until it closed in 1962. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors who come to explore its rich history and enjoy the stunning natural scenery.

One of the most notable landmarks in Cauldon is the Cauldon Canal, which runs through the village. The canal was built in the early 19th century to transport goods from the Potteries to the River Trent. Today, the canal is a popular spot for boating and fishing, and visitors can take a leisurely stroll along its banks to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The village is also home to several historic buildings, including the Cauldon Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Cauldon Lowe Windmill, which was built in 1825 and is one of the few remaining windmills in the area.

Cauldon is a charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Staffordshire. With its picturesque countryside, historic landmarks, and friendly locals, it is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a relaxing break in the heart of the English countryside.
