Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum

Reviewed By Xedos1 - Cawood, United Kingdom

Brilliant little museum. Restricted numbers due to Covid, but all the better for that. Very enthusiastic and knowledgable man on reception and occasionally dragging punters in. Prior to our visit, all I knew about Dr Johnson was from Blackadder! It's free and well worth a visit.

Just visit this old church to see what can be done. The library is here, an entertainment space and coffee shop on the upstairs floor which has been inserted. View the stained glass windows and stone work without a crick in your neck. There was also an exhibition of art by local artists.

Tamworth Castle promises a brilliant day out for all the family. There is plenty to see and even more to do with hands on displays and costumes. The Castle Keep is set in extensive pleasure grounds in the centre of Tamworth's historic market town. Over the centuries the Castle has welcomed royal visitors, key figures in history and nobility.

C'mon, a castle in Tamworth - of course its going to be awesome! Great, friendly staff and plenty to do - took my granddaughter who loved it. Spent a good couple of hours there. The roof was closed because ti was raining, but the staff let us up to have a look at the view!
