Rocester is a charming settlement on the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, situated on a triangular plot of land between the Churnet and the Dove rivers. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and its location is today marked by the remains of a Roman fort. The famous JCB factory is located in Rocester, and the company has landscaped the area to create beautiful walking paths through the site and the nearby park. The Fossor is the most impressive of these because it is constructed entirely out of digger parts and thus serves as a potent symbol of JCB. Rocester marks the midpoint of the Staffordshire Way, which spans the entire county, and the beginning of the Limestone Way, which travels all the way to Matlock. In addition to Rocester's proximity to the charming market town of Ashbourne, the family-friendly theme park of Alton Towers is only a short drive away. From Rocester, you can easily travel to the Staffordshire and Derbyshire regions of the Peak District National Park, where you will find historic houses, market towns, moorland, rolling hills, and valleys.
