The Staffordshire town of Tamworth is extremely well connected to nearby major towns and neighbouring counties. It lies just 14 miles north-east of Birmingham, and borders North Warwickshire and Lichfield to the north, south-west and west. These strong connections help Tamworth and its neighbours Burntwood and Cannock benefit from accessibility across the wider Staffordshire area. It is perhaps thanks to this accessible Midlands location that logistics and engineering are two of Tamworth’s most prominent industries.
Culturally, Tamworth is well known for its influence on British history. Today, related statues, castles and architecture contribute to the town’s tourism and cultural economies, including the cathedral in the nearby city of Lichfield.
In modern day leisure, Tamworth is nationally famed for its entertainment offering, which includes real-snow indoor ski slope SnowDome® and Drayton Manor Theme Park. These contemporary provisions have been enhanced by the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet West Midlands, which opened on the outskirts of neighbouring Cannock in April 2021. The region’s retail offering is likely to receive a further boost when the new Friarsgate retail and leisure development in Lichfield is completed – attracting thousands of monthly visitors and creating hundreds of jobs in the region.
Tamworth’s health and social care provision is served by South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and its education sector includes a branch of South Staffordshire College. In addition to these key local employers, the public sector provision provides welcome employment opportunities.
