Uttoxeter is a market town in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands and within easy reach of the Peak District. It has a compact historic centre and a long market tradition, with a railway station on the Crewe to Derby line and good road links via the A50 that make it a practical commuter base for nearby centres such as Stoke‑on‑Trent, Derby and Burton upon Trent.
Uttoxeter is perhaps best known for Uttoxeter Racecourse, which draws regular crowds and supports local hospitality and leisure jobs, while the wider economy includes light engineering, agriculture and independent retail. The town’s Victorian streets, parish church and regular markets reflect a strong community spirit, and its proximity to the River Dove, the Derbyshire border and attractions like Alton Towers make it a handy base for exploring the Staffordshire countryside.
