Cathy's Say

These luxury Staffordshire cottages with swimming pool are close to the town of Burton upon Trent which is associated worldwide with brewing. It was the discovery by the Abbey monks of the special qualities of the local well water for brewing that ensured the future prosperity and notoriety of the town. A number of inns were built close to the Abbey to accommodate travellers and most of the innkeepers brewed their own ale. When, in the early 18th century, the Trent was made navigable as far as Burton, other markets became open to the local brewers. By1880 it was estimated that there were upwards of 40 breweries in the town. Today there are tours of the Marston's brewery to see the time-honoured brewing methods in action, and of course enjoy sampling their famous beers
