Pound Green is a hamlet in the parish of Upper Arley, Staffordshire. It has a number of tourist landmarks such as Ye Olde New Inn and a village hall that also serves Button Oak village. There is also an airfield for microlight aircraft and a campsite attached to Woodhouse Farm.
Pound Green Common is an area of common land, west of the village [1] which was the location of Edgar Chance's studies of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) which included the first ever photography of a cuckoo laying her egg.[2]
The woods to the south of Pound Green mark the southernmost point of Staffordshire.
