Hi Algol,
I don't know about the immediate area (I'm in Stafford), but just up the M6 in the Lakes, you will find some of the best sites in the country. Arnside Knott for Scotch Argus, High Brown Frit and Northeren Brown Argus; Meathrop Moss for Large Heath; Witherslack for HBF,DGF,SPBF and PBF; Irton Fell, in the Western Lakes is one of the most reliable and accessible sites in the UK for Mountain Ringlet. I shall certainly be up there a few times next year and would be happy to meet up if you wish.
