Leek is the 'Queen of the Moorlands', a handsome Staffordshire market town in the Peak District fringe known for its silk and textile heritage, Arts and Crafts connections (William Morris used local silk dyers), and a thriving antiques and vintage trade. The town's elevated position and stone-built character give it a distinctly different feel from the rest of Staffordshire.
