Tourist attraction in Stone

“Always a friendly atmosphere. A good range of beers available including plenty of choice from their gin collection. Always happy to provide help and advice with drinks and mixers.”

“Myself, my wife and my in-laws came to a cottage near Blythe Bridge for our wedding anniversary. We had looked at a few places to go out for walks (ourselves and the dogs), and we decided on Downs Bank first. We're so pleased we did. There is ample parking for around 40 cars. We did a few easy walks as both of my in laws are getting on in years. But, there are a lot more challenging walks for those that like to get the heart rate up. Benches around the bank are a little hard to find but there are sufficient for just taking a brief moment near the stream. We were here in January and we couldn't have asked for better weather, and being early in the year, the cold and lack of children had made this a beautiful place to stroll around with very few people/kids or dogs to break the relative tranquility of a lovely place. Once you have done the walk a couple of times the chance of a different type of photograph have gone, but then you could start to get creative about differing points of view and shots to try. Overall I would highly recommend Downs Bank for all ages and abilities.”

“my boyfriend and i went here for lunch today, and it was an amazing experience! we are not from the area, but were traveling through and decided to stop for a quick bite to eat, and it did not disappoint! we ordered the hawaiian pizza and garlic cheesy bread, but would recommend any pizzas, very tasty! the service was wonderful, all staff was so kind and helpful! please make sure to stop here if you’re in the area, it’s worth it!”

“This is a little gem of a place it is small but has some lovely animals and birds and has a flying display it is very reasonable in price and great for kids”

“Visited yesterday with my two children, aged 15 & 9. Both had an absolutely brilliant time. Dawn, who helped my daughter half way through the course when she was really struggling and doubting her own abilities, was so lovely. It was challenging but brilliant fun. The kids especially loved the descent at the end! We would definitely visit again if in the area and highly recommend.”

“This place was amazing! My sister and I loved being able to see the monkeys up so and learn so many different facts about them for example, their origin and their diet. We were lucky enough to be there at the time of their feeding which we got to see a staff member feed the monkeys and teach us how they behave and the hierarchy of the monkey kingdom. At the time of visiting, they had over 100 monkeys to see and around 11 of which being babys as young as 4 weeks old. As you leave the monkey forest, there's a cafe and a really big park with unique attractions such as big tree swings and mystery trails to walk and venture on. This site is truly amazing and I couldn't recommend it for families any more!”

“Fantastic experience!! Every scene was beautifully presentated with perfect music! Great for families of all ages and enough places to stop to take photos and great food from the vendors!”

“Service has been amazing. Nice and cool on a hot day, thanks for that. Food has been very good. Cocktails varied and novel. Can see why it is busy, and why everyone has a smile in their face. Price is decent, probably on the slight higher side, but certainly worth it. I’m not from around here, but I’d come back if I was, and can see why the locals frequent here. A little treasure on the Staffordshire waterways!”

“Last week we popped into this shop for some walking boots for myself. The assistant who was on duty was excellent, I purchased a pair of walking boots and two outdoor jackets, which I was advised on. One was for walking, and one was because I wanted it, The assistant was very knowledgeable about the products in the shop. I thank you for your help. This weekend I went walking and my purchases were excellent due to the weather and ware, I would highly recommend you shop here.”

“Our friends held their Wedding here and it was lovely. The staff were excellent and the food was awesome. we were lucky to have one of the hottest days of the year, so spent most time in the Garden which was also beautiful. Great day and what a fantastic wedding cake!”

“Amazing food. I usually only have korma but was persuaded to try something different. The gentleman said he would make it mild for me. It was really nice. They are willing to change dishes around with ingredients. Excellent service”

“New owner is very welcoming and his scones are fabulous Just been for coffee and scone after walk around marina New own shared his plans for his extension for additional sitting and plans for expansion of menu and opening hours Sounds very exciting keep watching for further updates”
