Ellastone is a small, rural community in East Staffordshire, in the county of Staffordshire, England, set in the rolling, wooded valleys of the Dove. The parish sits close to the banks of the River Dove and the county border with Derbyshire, so it attracts walkers and nature lovers heading for limestone dales such as Dovedale and the surrounding countryside.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a mix of stone cottages, former farm buildings and a handful of local businesses, with tourism and commuting supplementing farming today. There is a strong local identity centred on community events and conservation of its rural heritage, and visitors often remark on the quiet lanes, old bridges and scenic river walks that characterise the area.
