      Tamworth

      October 20, 2020 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      So, we travelled from Alvecote to Polesworth in search of a good bookstore and a good pint...we were disappointed on all fronts. Polesworth was rather not worth a visit. The short town had little on offer beyond tanning and beauty salons and so fairly sketchy looking pubs...alas the bookstore appeared to have shut. We spent a quick half hour hour jaunting through the town and around the priory (which interesting did have some CWGC graves in the cemetery), before heading back to the boar and onwards to a winding hole to turn around. We did end up returning to Polesworth where we finally lost the light and moored up for the night, treating ourselves to an Indian.

      Away early the next morning, we headed to Tamworth which was considerably more interesting. Whilst the castle was closed it still made for an interesting stop and the main streets retained some beautiful buildings from previous eras. The walk into Tamworth along the canal and the River Anker was rather nicer than we expected too. All making up for the disappointing evening the night before!
