쉬운 탬워스 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

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.

Towpath is usually in pretty good condition for most of the year. Probably not all suitable for a road bike but anything with 40mm or above tyres is going to be fine.

The current church was built in the mid to late 14th and 15th centuries with some 19th century additions. Its three previous buildings date back to the 8th century, but were all destroyed by raids (874 and 943) or a fire (1345). The church is named after Saint Editha, probably King Edgar's aunt.

The statue was erected for Sir Robert Peel, perhaps Tamworth's most famous resident. He was Prime Minister twice (1834-1835 and 1841-1846) and MP for Tamworth from 1830 to 1850. He is also considered the father of the modern British police force. The colloquial term "Bobbies" is derived from his first name. He is also considered the founder of the conservative party.

The buildings visible today (previous wooden building) were built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Built by Normans and correspond to a typical Norman motte. 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.
