Tutbury is a small historic village and civil parish in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, perched on a sandstone spur above the River Dove at the county boundary with Derbyshire, a few miles from Burton upon Trent. Its riverside setting and surrounding farmland give a mix of attractive walking country, rural character and practical commuter links to nearby towns.
The village is dominated by the impressive ruins of Tutbury Castle, a medieval fortress with long links to the Duchy of Lancaster and the imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots, and retains a medieval parish church, independent shops and a compact street pattern. Heritage tourism, local events and easy access to the Trent and Mersey Canal and regional employment in brewing and engineering help sustain the local economy and community life.
