Towns & Villages
 East Staffordshire is sprinkled with picturesque villages and traditional market towns
The main town of Burton upon Trent is internationally known as the capital of British brewing. The Coors Visitor Centre contains a potted history of the brewing industry and throws some light on changing social conditions in this part of the country. It also provides a superb start to a tour of the brewery. Group tours of Marstons Brewery are also available.
Uttoxeter is known for its National Hunt Racecourse, home of the Midlands Grand National. It is a busy market town with markets being held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
In the north of the Borough of East Staffordshire lie the Weaver Hills, with their old world villages, panoramic views and historical connections.
In the centre of the Borough is some of the most attractive countryside in the Midlands, where quiet villages abound, complete with homely pubs, places of interest and historic connections. Tutbury is a pretty and historic village where Mary Queen of Scots spent many years in captivity in its Castle.
Several of the villages retain traditions from mediaeval times including the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance held every September and the Dressing of Wells at Newborough in early May.
