Weston-under-Lizard

Weston under Lizard is a village in the South Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England. It constitutes a civil parish with Blymhill, called Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard.

The village is on the A5 (here following the course of Watling Street), and is very close to the county boundary with Shropshire. Nearby places are Blymhill, and Tong.

To the south of the village is Weston Park the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford. It is known as Weston under Lizard (the name of a hill in nearby Shropshire) to distinguish it from Weston upon Trent.

It should not be confused with the village of Weston, to the north east of Stafford.
