About

Tamworth is a local government district centered on the town of Tamworth in Staffordshire, within the West Midlands region. The district covers the town and surrounding villages including Wilnecote, Amington, Fazeley and Dosthill. The River Tame runs through the centre of town and meets the River Anker close to the town centre. The district is crossed by historic Watling Street, now the A5, and is served by the M42 and A38. Tamworth railway station is on the West Coast Main Line, with regular services to Birmingham and London.

Tamworth's history as a seat of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia is visible in its medieval castle, a Norman keep beside the river that remains open to visitors. The borough mixes residential areas with industrial estates and retail centres; light manufacturing and logistics are notable employers. Leisure and recreation include the indoor SnowDome ski centre and riverside footpaths along the Tame and Anker. Local planning emphasises the corridor along the rivers for flood management and green space, shaping development within the district.
