The village is surrounded by lush green fields, rolling hills, and picturesque farmland, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

The name "Adder's Moss" is derived from the presence of mossy wetland areas and the occasional occurrence of adders, a species of venomous snakes, in the vicinity. However, it's important to note that adder sightings are extremely rare and pose no significant threat to residents or visitors.

The village itself is quite small, with a close-knit community that values the rural lifestyle and natural beauty of the area. The local architecture is predominantly traditional, with charming cottages and farmhouses dotting the landscape. The village church, known as St. Mary's, is a notable landmark that adds to the historical and cultural significance of Adder's Moss.

Nearby attractions include the scenic Peak District National Park, which offers stunning hiking trails and breathtaking views, as well as the bustling market town of Congleton, where visitors can find a range of shops, restaurants, and amenities.
