Stone is a very pretty market town on the Trent & Mersey canal, particularly in summer when residents & businesses enter the Stone in Bloom competition and summer flowering baskets and flower beds are abundant with scented blooms. There is a weekly market, although this is small, however, on the first Saturday if the month, Stone has a Farmers market which is definitelycworth a visit for llocal produce and bakes. Beautiful canal walks and real ale pubs make this an ideal country getaway.

Quaint market town set in beautiful countryside on a very pretty canal. 30 miles north of Birmingham, so well away from city noise. More restaurants than I've ever seen in a town of a similar size, real ale pubs and lots of live music. Ideal for a country break with walks a plenty and great pubs and food afterwards.
