Inside Tamworth Castle | Over a 1000 Years of History

In this video, Kevin Hicks takes you on a captivating tour of Tamworth Castle in Staffordshire. Explore this medieval marvel as you journey through centuries of history. The site on which Tamworth Castle stands originally served as a residence of the Mercian kings in Anglo Saxon times, survived Viking invasions, was refortified by the Normans, later enlarged and survived more than one siege during the English Civil War. Tamworth Castle has witnessed it all and it remains today one of the best preserved motte-and-bailey castles in England.
