We caught a bus into Tamworth and had a wander around the town centre and in and out of shops. And both enjoyed being off the boat with no itinerary or time scale.

We have both enjoyed Tamworth. Since we were last here the Primula’s in the Castle Gardens have all flowered giving a vibrant display. Castle Gardens is a lovely green oasis just a stone’s throw from the town centre. There are green open spaces, bowling greens, pavilion buildings and a childrens play park. We sat here and had an ice cream while watching the world go around.

Returning to Hopwas, we had a pint in the Tame Otter and then crossed the canal and had one in the Red Lion. Just because we could and we wanted to check out both sides of the boat anyway. The Tame Otter is more of an eatery, whereas the Red Lion is a typical local.

In the evening we went back to the Tame Otter for our dinner.



Weather: a little chilly, but a lovely day.
