Eccleshall Tourist Information


Eccleshall is also an old coaching centre - and it's easy to imagine yourself back in the days of horse-drawn travel in one of its original coaching inns. The main street is characterised by delightful 18th and 19th century buildings and appealing shops - the perfect place to while away an hour or two.

At Shallowford, near Eccleshall is the thatched, half-timbered cottage of Izaak Walton, author of 'The complete Angler'.

Attractions near Eccleshall
Izaak Walton's Cottage (3 Miles)*
Izaac Walton is best remembered for writing the 'The Compleat Angler' which was completed in 1653. The following year he bought the Halfhead Estate which included the cottage.
Stafford Castle & Visitors Centre (6 Miles)*
This prominent vantage point and strategic site was quickly recognised by the Normans, who built a huge timber fortress here by 1100 AD. Extensively rebuilt in the Gothic Revival Style in 1813, the castle fell into ruin through this century.
The Ancient High House (7 Miles)*
Stafford's Ancient High House has been one of the most important buildings of the town for over four hundred years. Its late Elizabethan architecture makes it particularly distinctive among its 20th century neighbours.
