StaffordshireBurton upon Trent

This large town, straddling the River Trent, grew up around the monastery of St Modwen.  The monks started the wool industry and later the ancient market town became associated with the brewing industry.

Brewing originally developed here because of the quality of the local water, which contains a high proportion of dissolved salts.  To preserve the quality of the water today much of the open land in and around the town is protected from chemical treatment. 

Internationally known as 'the brewing capital of Great Britain', Burton upon Trent currently has 5 brewers.  The Coors and Marstons ( Tel: 01283 507391 ) breweries have visitor centres, both offering a museum and brewery tour. 

Another of Burton upon Trent's great claims to fame is that it is the home of Marmite!  A by-product of the brewing industry, the savoury yeast-extract spead has been manufactured here since 1902.  Bovril, (originally a beef extract but now totally vegetarian) is also produced here. 

The combination of the Marmite and Bovril factories, together with the 5 breweries, gives Burton upon Trent its distinctive smell! 

The Trent Washlands in Burton upon Trent forms part of the National Forest.  This large area of the River Trent floodplain boasts a variety of habitats and has a wide range of wildlife. 

Nearby in Derbyshire stands Calke Abbey, a Baroque mansion owned by the National Trust .
