Our Home, Our School
Burton upon Trent is situated in the
Midlands and in the heart of the National
Forest in the county of Staffordshire. It is
the largest town in the National Forest and
is internationally known as the capital of
British brewing thanks to its excellent
water. There are Approximately 43,784
people living in our town. The River Trent
and the Trent and Mersey canal wind their
way majestically
through the town.
Burton is best known for its brewing industrial heritage,
home to over a dozen breweries in its heyday. Beer is still
brewed in the town.[3]
The town originally grew up around Burton upon
Trent Abbey, which was the most important religious centre in medieval
Staffordshire.
It is also famous all around the world for Marmite and
the very first jar was produced here in 1902. Marmite
is an off-shoot of the beer industry using brewers’ yeast
by-product to make the nutritious, rich in B vitamins

Stapenhill Gardens is a very popular local park, consisting of formal
gardens, open grassland and woodland plus a popular play area. The
site acts as a focal point for the community, with events held around
the swan.
THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE AND GARDENS
England has hundreds of ancient cities, interesting market towns and
pretty villages which a man could spend a lifetime exploring and still
thirst for more. For many English people, it is not these Cathedral
cities of grandeur, or the historic towns of old that the appreciate
most, but the very land that gave these places life - that eternal
green, that mighty oak, that gentle flower bowing in the summer
breeze, those rolling hills of old with silver trickling
streams - the English Countryside is where his heart
truly belongs...
Most people picture the traditional English themed
garden as either a somewhat wild, flower-filled
cottage garden, or a carefully manicured formal
estate garden.

5. THE NATIONAL FOREST
The National Forest is one of the country's
boldest environmental projects, transforming
200 square miles in the centre of England. It
offers a range of unique funding schemes
designed to encourage tree planting and the
creation of wildlife habitats. Burton upon Trent
is in the very heart of the forest.
Eden Project
The Eden Project is a very popular
visitor attraction in Cornwall. Inside the
artificial biomes are plants that are
collected from all around the world.
This organization/charity teaches
visitors how important plants are and
also use gardening as a way of
empowering disengaged people.
Hope you have enjoyed reading about our country.
