Find luxury hotels in Great Haywood

Great Haywood and its surroundings offer a selection of luxury activities and experiences, primarily centred around its canal network and nearby estates.For those who appreciate relaxed, scenic travel, a private canal boat hire is an excellent choice. You can charter a well-appointed narrowboat for a day or longer, complete with a skipper if you prefer, allowing you to glide along the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at a leisurely pace. This offers a unique perspective of the countryside, passing through charming villages and alongside historic pubs where you can stop for a gourmet meal.Another superb option is a visit to Shugborough Estate, a National Trust property just a short drive from Great Haywood. Here, you can enjoy private tours of the mansion, delving into its rich history and impressive art collections without the usual crowds. The estate also boasts extensive landscaped gardens, a working farm, and often hosts special events like outdoor theatre or classical music concerts, providing a refined day out.For a more active yet equally exclusive experience, consider private horse riding lessons or a guided hack through the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Several local stables offer tailored experiences, suiting all skill levels, allowing you to explore the stunning natural landscape on horseback.
