Knighton is a hamlet in north west Staffordshire, England, located in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
It is surrounded to the west, north and east by Shropshire and can only be accessed by vehicle by passing through Shropshire. A public footpath running southwards, across fields, is the only way to access the settlement from the rest of Staffordshire without crossing into Shropshire. The B5026 road runs through Knighton.[1]
There is a public house - the White Lion.[2]
