Tamworth
Tamworth has an unusual concentration of family attractions for a town its size. Drayton Manor Theme Park is the biggest, with rides pitched at younger children and a Thomas Land area, and it makes a full day. The Snow Dome offers real snow year round for skiing, snowboarding and tubing, which is a reliable answer to bad weather. Ash End House Children's Farm at Middleton is gentler and suits toddlers and preschoolers, and The Big Play Barn covers indoor play. Tamworth Castle in the centre is worth an hour on top.
