Tamworth, Historic town in Staffordshire, England

Tamworth sits at the meeting point of Rivers Tame and Anker, forming a central hub for commerce and community activities in Staffordshire.

During the 8th century, this settlement served as the capital of the Kingdom of Mercia, where King Offa established his royal residence.

The Norman-era castle hosts educational programs, medieval reenactments, and exhibitions that showcase the region's heritage throughout the year.

The town center contains multiple shopping areas, transport connections to Birmingham, and direct access to the M42 motorway network.

The Snowdome indoor winter sports center maintains real snow conditions year-round for skiing and snowboarding activities.
