Talks and events
Burton Town Trail 2024
We created this trail to commemorate King Charles’s Coronation, for people to enjoy. We have recently updated the route to reflect the changes currently taking place on the washlands. The trail guides you on a circular route around historic buildings, along the River Trent and through the Marketplace, returning through Coopers Square and to George Street to finish. Along the trail, you will explore some of the hidden gems of the town, see its rich industrial past and embrace its art and beauty.
Wetmore Charter Walk
Download this walking map following the old Wetmore boundary. The walk covering both streets and footpaths, is approximately 12 miles and attempts to follow the ancient boundary around Burton. The trail was established by our chairman Richard Stone and the map produced by Richard and Shelagh Wain. We hope you enjoy the trip.
