About Outwoods
Where to stay in Outwoods
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Outwoods offers little in the way of hotels. Beds are found in central Burton upon Trent instead, a short drive down Shobnall Road, which leaves the district as the quieter option for anyone arriving by car and wanting a place to park. The Outwoods Cross junction opens onto Tutbury Road and Beam Hill Road.
Stay near St Chad's Church if you want a walkable stretch of the district rather than the town centre.
About Outwoods
What are the main landmarks in Outwoods?
Two mileposts survive here. One stands at Outwoods Cross, where Tutbury Road joins Beam Hill Road, and the other on Shobnall Road along the route towards Anslow, marking road distances out of Burton upon Trent. St Chad's Church and St John the Divine carry the district's church landmarks between them.
The Former Hydraulic Power House records its industrial side.
What is the history of Outwoods?
Roads shaped Outwoods. The mileposts on Tutbury Road and Shobnall Road belong to a time when distances to Anslow and the surrounding country were cut in stone beside the highway. The Former Hydraulic Power House speaks for the works that followed, hydraulic pressure driving machinery on the edge of Burton upon Trent.
St Chad's Church and St John the Divine came with the housing. Outwoods Cross keeps the older name.
Where is Outwoods?
