The town of Burton upon Trent is commonly referred to as the UK's "brewing capital" due to its illustrious history and superior brewing capabilities. In fact, this area was home to more than thirty separate breweries during the height of the business in the late 1800s.
Following the brewing these, if you feel a trip to Burton can’t be complete without paying homage to its worldwide reputation in this sphere, a visit to the National Brewery Centre, found on Horninglow Street, is a great place to start.
The town boasts an abundance of wealth to tempt those looking to indulge in a little retail therapy and shop till they drop. Burton is home to three distinct shopping centres: Coopers Square, Burton Place, and the Octagon.
The National Forest Adventure Farm, found in Tatenhill, Burton, is a great place to take the children, with animals, parks and playgrounds and both indoor and outdoor soft play areas.
If historic places are your thing, the ruins of Tutbury Castle, a largely ruined medieval castle and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, stands just four miles or so north of the town, with regular public transport links available.
On the outskirts of the town, in Alrewas, can be found the National Memorial Arboretum – a poignant area with gardens, beautiful woodlands and over 300 memorials.
Burton has a large number of independent stores ranging from cafes, boutiques and family-owned retailers.
The town’s football club, Burton Albion, is also prominent and runs a successful Community Trust which hosts events, programmes and activities both at the club’s Pirelli Stadium as well as reaching out into the wider community.
Supported by local businesses Trent & Dove and Molson Coors, Burton was recently announced as a finalist in the prestigious RHS Britain in Bloom competition.
The accolade comes on the back of an astonishing run of 13 consecutive gold medals for Burton in the Heart of England in Bloom competition.
Burton is known for its exquisite floral displays, and the town will now represent the Midlands in the Small City category.

River
Burton now lies on both sides of the River Trent. Historically, there was just one bridge over the river, Burton old bridge (which carries the A511) and there was a small ferry that operated from "time immemorial". This was eventually replaced by the Ferry Bridge. A second road crossing of the Trent is St Peter's Bridge (which carries the A5189) was opened in 1985.
Road
The A38, which bypasses the town, connects Burton to Birmingham and Derby. The A444 links traffic to Coventry and the M42 motorway and the A511 links traffic to Leicester. The A5121 carries traffic through the middle of Burton connecting to the A38, A5189 and A511 respectively. The A5189 runs (West-East) across Burton and connects the A444 through Burton and across the River Trent.
Rail
The town is served by Burton-on-Trent railway station, which is accessed from the bridge on Borough Road. The station has two platforms: platform one for Derby, Nottingham and the North; platform two for Tamworth, Birmingham and the South. The station is situated on the Cross Country Route between the principal cities of Derby and Birmingham.
The station's operator is East Midlands Railway, although none of their trains call there. All services are provided by CrossCountry, with trains between Cardiff Central, Birmingham and Nottingham, as well as longer-distance services to destinations such as Bristol Temple Meads, Leeds and Newcastle. Burton is positioned at the western terminus of the aborted Ivanhoe line.
The station utilises the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving.
Bus
The town had its own municipal buses operated by Burton Corporation Transport and later East Staffordshire District Council after 1974. This was taken over by Stevensons of Uttoxeter in the mid-1980s and, in turn, was absorbed by Arriva Midlands in the late 1990s.
In July 2005, Midland Classic then operated the majority of buses in the town to outlying areas such as Uttoxeter, Horninglow, Edge Hill, Stapenhill, Queen's Hospital Burton, Winshill, Stretton, Abbots Bromley, Tatenhill, Wetmore, Branston, Lichfield, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and East Midlands Airport having taken over the local depot of Arriva Midlands at Wetmore Road in August 2016.
