Ellastone is a small rural village and civil parish in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, lying close to the River Dove on the county boundary with Derbyshire and not far from the limestone dales at the western edge of the Peak District. The setting is characteristically rolling and agricultural, with narrow lanes, hedged fields and traditional stone cottages that give the village a distinctly historic, countryside feel.
The local economy and social life remain largely village‑centred, historically linked to farming and small watermills on the river, while today the area attracts walkers and visitors exploring nearby Dovedale and the Derbyshire countryside. Community life is quietly active around the village church, occasional local events and the pub, and the place is valued for its scenic tranquillity and sense of local history.
