We made it! January 2025 = complete.
We are well and truly nestled into February, and it’s feeling good!
We have had a little glimmer of sunshine, daffodils are starting to poke through, the nights are staying lighter, and LOVE IS IN THE AIR.
February is one of our favourites – short and sweet. So without further ado, here is a little love month inspiration to fill your February with.

CASTLE GROUNDS AND PLAYPARK
We will forever and always LOVE this one.
If you have little companions, then the play area is always a good idea. It is FREE. As long as you wrap up warm then this is a great cheap time out for all the family.
Within the Castle Grounds there are also lovely walks, ideal for pushchairs and wheelchairs alike. You can spot lots of nature around, and as the days start to get longer and the weather starts to warm, make use of the Tennis Courts, Planet Walk, Skate Park, Table Tennis Tables and grassy spots for little picnics.
All things Castle Grounds can be found here: Castle Grounds | visittamworth
PARK RUN
Looking to kick start your weekend with a little fitness boost and blast of fresh air whilst enjoying some stunning scenery? Tamworth Castle Grounds Park Run is ideal.
Don’t be put off by the word ‘run’ – although there are of course many amazing runners in the pack – park run is for everyone – dog walkers, parents with prams. You can walk the route too with a coffee in hand. It is all FREE as well.
Park Run provides a great community of people to enjoy some movement with for mind and body.

LOVE NATURE
You can’t really go wrong when you head out in nature. Just be prepared. As the saying goes, 'It's not bad weather, it's bad clothing'. With that said, be sure to wrap up warm and keep dry whilst you explore the great outdoors.
February is especially love for nature as we slowly start to turn towards spring and all the new life that brings with it. Hearing the bird song back is something we truly love!
We are a tad spoilt in Tamworth for some seriously pretty nature spots – we just want to keep them that way; so we kindly ask you take all litter home with you to keep these precious spaces safe for our plants, wildlife and animals, but also pleasant for other visitors too.
With 14 nature spots to choose from, there is plenty of options for a breath of fresh air.
