Old and new sit side-by-side in the County town. Pedestrianised walkways take you to the old quarter of Stafford, wander through 17th Century Church Lane or take a break from the shops and relax in St Mary’s Place or Victoria Park. Salter Street leads you towards the Theatre and Martin Street with architecture charting the town’s progress from 12th Century to the present day.
Don’t miss the Ancient High House, the largest timber framed town house in England. There’s also Stafford Castle, dating from Norman times and, Izaak Walton Cottage, the ‘chocolate box’ location dedicated to angling.
A short journey will find you at some of our most grand houses including the country estates of Shugborough, Sandon Hall, and Weston Park, celebrating the past whilst providing a venue for some of the county’s most popular events. The museum at RAF Cosford houses one of the most spectacular collections of military and civic aircraft. Also, the Wedgwood Centre home of the most famous potter in history, Josiah Wedgwood, must rate highly on your list to visit.
Located within the national Forest of Staffordshire, near Lichfield the National Arboretum is the home of the new Armed Forces Memorial comprising 150 acres of trees and memorials devoted to the concept of remembrance.
