Tamworth Castle, Norman castle in Tamworth, England
Tamworth Castle is a stone fortress standing on elevated ground where two rivers meet. The building combines Norman and medieval architectural styles throughout its structure.
The site began as an Anglo-Saxon fortification in 913 before being rebuilt as a Norman castle in the 1080s. This transformation shaped its structure for centuries to follow.
The castle displays medieval armor and furniture from different centuries. These objects show how people lived across England's changing periods.
Visitors can join guided tours through the rooms, great hall, and battlements. Groups and families can find tailored options for their visit.
The castle retains its original motte-and-bailey layout from the 11th century, while later additions like a Tudor great hall show how the place evolved. These layers tell the story of different residents and their building projects.
