DAY TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

 

Tamworth Castle

 

YOUR ITINERARY

We depart from your selected pick-up point and travel to Tamworth Castle arriving at lunchtime we enjoy tea/coffee and cake ahead of our guided tour.

 

Step back in time through 900 years of history, wander the chambers and hallways of this unique building and get a real sense of how the Saxons, Normans, Tudors and Victorians spent their time in the castle.

 

There are more than 15 fully furnished rooms to discover, and everything is clearly signposted. The castle is packed with information and displays matching the era of the room.

 

Relax in the Day Parlour used by the Ferrers family to gather in before dining then step into the Tudor Dining Room with large, colourful tapestries decorating the walls. Sit at the table in front of the large, log fireplace to really get a feel of this marvellous room.

 

Why not venture up the tower which gives 360° views of Tamworth, including St. Editha’s Church and the surrounding Castle Grounds.

 

The South Range of the Castle shows the life of the families who lived in the Castle in its more recent years, before it was opened as a museum in 1897. The Townshends and the Cookes had very refined tastes and this is clearly shown in the bedroom and drawing room. All ready for you to explore.

 

After a wonderful afternoon we then make our journey home.
