The character of Tamworth
The centre is compact around Ankerside Shopping Centre and the castle grounds, with short-stay parking handling most casual waiting. The approach from the M42 is direct and well signed, arriving close to the centre rather than on its outskirts. Older streets nearer the castle are narrower, with the river crossings adding a small but genuine constraint on turning space.
- Cars hold near Ankerside or the castle grounds and move to the door on your call.
- The M42 approach into Tamworth is direct, arriving close to the centre itself.
- Older streets near the castle are narrower, with river crossings limiting turning space.
- The A5 through the centre backs up where it meets the ring road at school-run times.
