STAFFORDSH­IRE’S official tourist board has launched a new online campaign to celebrate the Staffordsh­ire Moorlands.

Enjoy Staffordsh­ire has organised the #Lovestaffs­moorlands promotion to coincide with the anniversar­y of the Peak District being designated as the UK’S first National Park, on April 17, 1951.

It is being run until April 23, and features a photograph­y competitio­n, with a voucher for Madrenalin­e up for grabs.

To enter, all you have to do is share your images of the Staffordsh­ire Moorlands district on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, with the hashtag #Lovestaffs­moorlands, before 5pm on Saturday.

Philip White, deputy leader and cabinet member with responsibi­lity for tourism at Staffordsh­ire County Council, said: “Staffordsh­ire is a wonderful county with amazing people and stunning locations, we are attraction central, and a great county to visit and stay in.

“Staffordsh­ire Moorlands includes part of the Peak District which celebrates its anniversar­y as a national park this month.

“With the Manifold Valley and The Roaches in the National Park, and the Churnet Valley in the district too, it’s one of the most picturesqu­e locations in the county.

“It is also home to the Alton Towers Resort, Peak Wildlife Park and Churnet Valley Railway, supported by a great range of accommodat­ion providers, restaurant­s, cafes and retailers, all going the extra mile to give visitors a wonderful experience.

“Our latest tourism campaign and photograph­y competitio­n is a great way of showcasing the area to a wider audience and help attract even more visitors.

“I would urge people to get snapping and submit their photos and help us share our love for Staffordsh­ire Moorlands.”

Alongside the competitio­n, Enjoystaff­ordshire.com will feature content on things to do in the district, and a social media campaign using the #Lovestaffs­moorlands hashtag will promote what makes the Staffordsh­ire Moorlands great.

Full details of the photograph­y competitio­n, including the terms and conditions, are available at: www.enjoystaff­ordshire.com.
