Geography
It is about 1km north of

The village has excellent transport links. It is close to the
A50 road which links the

Hilton and
Foston Bypass. The former route is now the

station
was originally closed in the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, but opened in the 1980s (like other previously-closed rural stations) due to public demand. Local bus services are provided by
Arriva who link Hatton with Burton and Uttoxeter, and

Mark Todd.

Nestlé who have a major coffee
factory in the village where they make
Nescafé, which is
also made in

café,
The Salt Box on the A511, which has won awards as the best

Co-op in the village near the train station.
