Tamworth Castle

Tamworth Castle stands on a Norman motte above the River Tame in Staffordshire. The site has been fortified since the Saxon period and the current stone shell keep dates from the twelfth century. The castle has served as a residence, court, and now a museum.

Visitors and staff describe a White Lady figure on the main staircase, cold drafts in the Tudor bedroom, and the sensation of being watched in the tower rooms. An apparition identified with St Editha has been reported near the herringbone masonry of the oldest section. Paranormal investigation groups have recorded sessions here over multiple decades.

The castle operates as a museum with regular opening hours and event programming. The motte involves a steep climb. Interior rooms have low doorways and uneven floors typical of layered medieval construction. Town centre parking is nearby.
