Loggerheads is a village and civil parish in north-west Staffordshire, England, on the A53 between Market Drayton and Newcastle-under-Lyme. The village is close to the border with Shropshire and Cheshire. It has a Telford postcode and a Shropshire address, but is governed by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council in Staffordshire.
The civil parish extends 6 miles (10 km) north east from the Shropshire Union Canal outside Market Drayton. Apart from Loggerheads, much the largest village in the parish, the parish includes the villages of Almington, Hales, Mucklestone, and Ashley, the hamlets of Blore, Oakley, Napley, Winnington and Knighton, and the northern part of the hamlet of Hookgate.[2]
