Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

Over the centuries, their owners enlarged them several times and added residential buildings. After Windsor Castle, the Tamworth Motte is the second largest in England and one of the best preserved. It is worth mentioning that William Turner painted a painting "Tamworth Castle" of the castle.
