The county town of Stafford is a good base for anyone wishing to explore The Potteries in detail but it has its' own attractions too. William the Conqueror first had a fortress built in Stafford and visitors can explore the remains of the castle.
The visitor centre - in a Norman style guardhouse - brings the history of this town to life with an audio visual display. Throughout the year the castle also plays host to a number of events, including Shakespeare plays!
