Beech is a hamlet[1] in the Borough of Stafford in Staffordshire, England.[2] It is located close to the boundary with the City of Stoke-on-Trent, separated by the M6 Motorway. It is more locally known as the hamlet for the "Beech Caves", which are a tourist hotspot and local landmark. Originally a sandstone quarry in 1633 and later used for other purposes such as troop movements in World War 2 and illegal raves. The hamlet is well connected to the neighbouring village of Tittensor to the east by Beechdale Lane.
