Tamworth Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle set in the south-west corner of what was a Saxon burh, it's located to dominate the approach over the two rivers which meet below the Castle.
Its sandstone walls and superb herringbone wall - all that survives of the "curtain wall" of the bailey are believed to date from the 1180s. They replaced a palisade and wooden tower, built on the present artificial mound shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
