Activity itinerary

Stapenhill Viaduct
  • 10m
The stretch of water close to where you’re standing is called the Fleet. As long as the river isn’t in flood, the Washlands are lovely to walk around
BURTON WAR MEMORIAL
  • 5m
It was unveiled in 1922 to commemorate over 1,300 Burtonians who lost their lives during the First World War.
St Modwen’s Church, Burton Upon Trent
  • 10m
The current St Modwen’s Church was built between 1719 and 1728.
Washlands Water Tower
  • 10m
It wasn’t built for the breweries, but to improve water pressure in areas higher up in the town, such as Winshill.
The Brewhouse
  • 10m
Thanks to a campaign by Burton Civic Society and funds from the Burton and District Arts Council (BADAC), the building was converted and became the Brewhouse Arts Centre in 1991.
Burton Town Hall
  • 10m
The downstairs of the main section is a large hall that’s used for events and special occasions. The upstairs houses the mayor’s parlour and council chambers – the place where important decisions about the town are made.
