Stacey Storer, Tamworth TIC recommends…
Stay at the 4-star The Belfry, a premier resort set in 550 acres of English countryside on the edge of Tamworth. Try a round of golf or a ‘fire and ice’ bio-thermal treatment. Spend time at haunted, motte and bailey Tamworth Castle and experience 900 years of history and enjoy attractive grounds and floral terraces. If you prefer a faster pace on holiday, get the adrenaline pumping at Drayton Manor Theme Park, a thrill-seekers heaven.
Enjoy a relaxing country retreat and spend a weekend at Swinfen Hall Hotel, a 4-star Grade II listed 18th century manor house, two miles south of Lichfield with 17 luxurious bedrooms and suites, award-winning restaurant, beautiful gardens, deer park and tennis court. Visit Shugborough and its walled garden, meet the gardeners, servants, cooks and kitchen maids as they demonstrate how life was lived decades ago.
Take the family away to Alton Towers Splash Landings Hotel and after a fun-filled day at Cariba Creek Waterpark, indulge yourself with some pampering at the luxury spa. Nearby is The Monkey Forest at Trentham, where you can walk through 60 acres of forest and witness this fascinating animal society. Finish your stay with a bike ride or simply stroll through the breathtaking scenery of Manifold Valley in the Peak District.
