Discovering Stone from Eagle House B&B

At around 16 minutes away by car, Stone makes an easy and rewarding day trip or half-day excursion during your stay. This vibrant canal town blends centuries of industrial heritage with independent shopping and waterside walks:

  • Waterside Peace along the Canal: The Trent & Mersey Canal runs directly through Stone, giving the town its unique character. It is a wonderful spot to watch narrowboats, enjoy a peaceful waterside walk, and soak in the atmosphere before heading into the High Street.
  • Charity Shop Treasure Hunting & Regenerative Tourism: Stone is one of our favourite spots for charity shop browsing. We love searching for pre-loved furniture, artwork, and unique curiosities to bring back to Eagle House. Giving pre-owned treasures a new life aligns naturally with our commitment to regenerative tourism and supporting local community causes.
  • Our Local Lunch Recommendation: When visiting Stone, our favourite spot for coffee, brunch, or lunch is BEAR on the High Street. It has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind over exceptional food and coffee.
  • A Rich Industrial & Monastic Heritage: Stone has been a vital trading post for centuries, shaped by the historic Stone Priory, the River Trent, and its pivotal role during the Industrial Revolution.
