Tamworth itself is a fairly ordinary Staffordshire town but it's the ideal place to stay for a number of reasons. The big attraction is the Snowdome - a huge indoor ski slope which can't be missed as you approach the town centre. Snowboard, ski or toboggan your way down a 170 metre slope which uses real snow especially created for the dome. The perfect way to keep cool on a hot summer's day or get in some ski-ing practice without waiting for snow. Nearby is Drayton Manor Park - a theme park with all kinds of thrill rides and attractions for kids. Five miles away from Tamworth is a golfer's paradise - The Belfry course, home of the Ryder Cup. The complex includes the course and a 324 bedroom hotel with health and fitness facilities and an indoor pool.
