Things to see and do in Tamworth

Tamworth’s town centre is a pleasant place to spend your time. There’s a bustling street market to explore, as well as historic landmarks such as the local castle. You can have a lot of fun at the bowling alley or indoor ski slope on the edge of town, not to mention on the rides and rollercoasters of Drayton Manor Theme Park less than two miles from the centre of Tamworth.

Tameside Local Nature Reserve is only a short stroll from the heart of town too, while you can head further away from the centre to explore open spaces like Kingsbury Water Park and Pine Pool. From historic sites like Alvecote Priory to Wigginton Park and Pooley Country Park, Kettlebrook Nature Reserve is another must-visit in the local area.

If your kids are a bit younger, the most central primary school is Moorgate Primary Academy. Thomas Barnes Primary and Glascote Academy are further away from the town centre, but ranked as outstanding by the education board.
