Beautiful views from this vantage point

Outwoods Bridge carries a bridleway over the Coventry Canal. It was completed in 1789 and has remained passable ever since, although it's been leisure only since 1947.

The sheer size of the quarry was surprising. We walked at the beginning of September, take a bag and collect some blackberries, they were plump and juicy.

The bridge over the River Anker, just off the Castle Grounds, offers a fine view of the river and parkland beyond.

The building was built in 1701 to a design by William Gilkes and financed by Thomay Guy. The arcades on the ground floor were intended for holding markets and the first floor is supported by 18 Doric columns. A sign was placed at the front reading “This hall was built at the expense of Thos. Guy Esq. “Anno MDCCI built” (1701).

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.

Beautifully laid out flower beds around the motte down to the former moat.

A great place to build into a run. A flat canal followed by a bit of ascent to the golden needle (an industrial sized sundial)
