Almost right in the heart of the United Kingdom, the landlocked county of Staffordshire in the West Midlands is a place of subtle beauty. With wild, sweeping moors to the north and the Cannock Chase to the south, the entire region is iconic of the rolling green hills of England. Staying in one of the Tamworth hotels will give you a good central base from which to explore the town itself as well as the surrounding areas.
Like many other English settlements, this is an ancient seat of local power. In the time of the Saxons, this was the capital of Mercia and as such was afforded great respect. Mercia was the largest of all the English kingdoms at the time, and King Offa managed to extend his realm to include the nearby regions of Sussex and Kent.
Because of its location at the confluence of two very important rivers, this town was the obvious choice for a commercial and political hub in those days. With so much water traffic, it became a vital trading post as well. It is still possible to come across ancient coins from the time, bearing the names of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
King Offa's coins are notable to collectors and enthusiasts primarily because they occasionally depict the face of his queen, Cynethryth. She is the only Anglo-Saxon queen ever to be depicted on a coin and may have been inspired by coins minted by the Byzantine emperor Constantine the Sixth which showed his mother on the reverse.
Unfortunately, this commercial and political hub, being as it was the seat of the Mercian king, was an immediate and obvious target for the Danes when they came across to invade. Sacked by invaders in 874, the town lay in ruins for nearly forty years afterwards.
Rebuilt by the daughter of Alfred the Great, Tamworth regained its status as an important commercial and trading center some time in the Middle Ages. Less than fifty years after it received its first charter from the King however, the town caught fire and burned to the ground.
Rebuilt a second time, the town rose to its feet again in time to suffer from no fewer than five waves of plague between 1563 and 1626. Certainly by this point anyone whose family had lived in this area for generations were becoming well familiar with disaster. By the time the parliamentarian forces rolled up during the English Civil War of 1643 there was very little that the populace had not had to deal with.
The unusually violent history of the town came to an end by the beginning of the eighteenth century. Piped water supplies were installed, gaslights popped up along the newly flagged streets, and the surrounding coal mines soon brought the train to Tamworth. Routes quickly linked the town to Birmingham and London, and the rivers which had always been used to transport goods now connected to a major network of canals. Things were finally going well.
If you were to visit the town these days and stay in one of these Tamworth hotels, you would find very little evidence of such a tumultuous past. The green, unspoiled countryside which encircles everything seems to invite visitors to stay longer. Even within the town itself there are lovely gardens and green parks.
The town's castle overlooks the Pleasure Grounds, a wonderful terraced garden which is open to the public year round. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon there are free brass band concerts in the pavilion, and there is a great little adventure play area for young children who may not find flowers that interesting. Your Tamworth hotels will know what is playing there.
For those with younger kids, or people who want something a bit more exciting to do, there are several great attractions nearby. The West Midland Safari and Pleasure Park, with its four mile drive through and largest lemur walk in the country, is a great place to spend an afternoon. There are also more than two dozen rides and attractions here, including white water rafting adventures and a thirty meter Venom Tower Drop ride.
Warwick Castle, which touts itself as "Britain's Ultimate Castle" is also near enough to visit easily and many Tamworth hotels will have brochures and possibly discount vouchers for it. This is a huge family entertainment complex with shows, rides, food, and everything you would expect in a modern theme park. Some people have even decided to hold their wedding ceremonies here. All in all it is a great place to take kids for the day.
Drayton Manor, another very big family fun center, is also extremely close by. Only three miles from the town's train station, this amusement park is strongly recommended for anyone with children. With seven very highly regarded thrill rides and many others besides, Drayton manor is probably one of the closest things that Britain has to a really extravagant theme park like Disneyland. Kids who like Thomas the Tank Engine will be happy to visit the park's dedicated Thomas Land, and there's also a little zoo to see.
If the beautiful creatures of the oceans and seas are more to your liking, then you may want to take a short trip out to Sea Life in Birmingham. Many people find it convenient to purchase combination tickets which will allow them to easily visit both the aquarium at Sea Life as well as the attractions at Warwick Castle. These combination passes are offered at a discount relative to the cost of buying them each separately.
Sea Life Birmingham is a great aquarium. It has a 4D cinema and has recently acquired an exhibit of hammerhead sharks for the visitors to stare at. You can learn a lot about conservation and habitat as well as see some really interesting animals here.
Booking a room in one of the Tamworth hotels will put you within easy reach of these and many more attractions. From the quiet serenity of a woodland wander to the Venom Tower's insane high speed drop, there is probably something for nearly everyone around here. You might find that it is more convenient and possibly cheaper to take up lodging here instead of in Birmingham proper.
