The new parish is bound by the West Coast Main Line, River Sow and Doxey Marshes to the north, the M6 motorway to the west and to the south an area of low-lying agricultural land leading to Stafford Castle and the Way for the Millennium (Staffordshire) footpath (previously the Stafford-Newport-Shrewsbury railway line, now established as the 'Greenway').

Doxey has easy access to a number of walking and cycling routes, of particular interest is the Way for the Millennium (Staffordshire) footpath. This is an easy walk for all, treating you to some great countryside views and regular stops at other local villages and towns. There is plenty to explore off the path as well and as it runs all the way to Burton upon Trent, should keep even the hardiest of walkers entertained for some time.
