The city’s six towns are a trove of odes to pottery-making past and present, from museums like the Gladstone and Potteries Museum and Art Gallery to working factories like Middleport and factory outlets for Royal Stafford, Wedgwood and Duchess China.

After visitors have had their fill of ceramics they can tuck into the many varieties of oatcake, a local delicacy, and venture out to nature spots like Trentham Estate, Manifold Valley and the Peak District.
