Man-Made Wonders in Staffordshire
Do you have a favourite man-made feature in Staffordshire? Loads of people nominated buildings and places for the BBC poll to find the best in the Midlands... but there was a shock for us!
To nominate your Staffordshire man-made wonder, use the messageboard-form halfway down this page.
********
In 2004 the BBC asked you to come up with the country's seven Natural Wonders - when the beautiful Staffordshire Dovedale area was selected as one of the seven wonders in the Midlands.
Then in early 2006, they asked you to some up with the seven "man-made" wonders in the Midlands, including ones in Staffordshire.
Staffs man made wonders
There are so many fantastic man-made locations in Staffordshire - from the grandeur of Lichfield Cathedral to Brindley's marvellous canal-system which criss-crosses the whole county to castles such as that at Tamworth.
What about a small railway line even?
Industrial buildings surround us in the county - there's the cast-iron aqueduct which carries the Shropshire Union Canal over Watling Street (now the A5) near Stretton, which was designed by Thomas Telford and manufactured in 1832, and even the JCB Factory at Rocester - very modern and hugely impressive.
Not to mention the great little railway branch lines (now restored) or the West Coast Main Line itself - and the great collieries.
Staffordshire also has particularly beautiful stately homes - such as Shugborough and Himley Hall - and terrific man-made gardens such as those at Biddulph Grange. And remember the amazing cave-buildings on Kinver Rock? And the Nine Ladies stones?

when you drive north up the m6 towards the lake district, just near sedbergh, several pudding shaped mountains come into view on your right, i believe that they are called the howgills. they are absolutely beautiful and signal that you are en - route to somewhere really good ( the lake district itself, edinburgh ). strangely the effect is not so dramatic on the way back down south.
