Tamworth – The Ancient Capital of Mercia

Tamworth has a unique place in the historical landscape of the UK and offers its visitors the opportunity to discover this rich past as well as enjoy the many attractions of a thriving and busy town set in the beautiful county of Staffordshire.
 Shopping in Tamworth “The old town” offers a unique shopping experience with its quirky, independent shops, which flows into The Castle Pleasure Grounds and in sight just across the park are The Retail Parks.
 Tamworth takes its name from the River Tame, which flows through it. 
Tamworth is the home of the historic Tamworth Castle and Moat House and was the capital of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia.
The town's main industries include logistics, engineering, clothing, brick, tile and paper manufacture. Until 2001 it was also home to the Reliant car company, which produced the three-wheeled Robin and the Scimitar sports car. The Snowdome, the UK's first full-sized real-snow indoor ski slope is in Tamworth, and only a short distance away is Drayton Manor Theme Park.
