Meet at New Street Station in time to catch the 12.19 train arriving at Tamworth at 12.35. [Day return £6.45 with Senior Railcard].

Our first pub will be Wetherspoon’s Bole Bridge with 7 beers and food available. From there we will visit The Market Vaults, a Joules pub with a predictable range of beers [4-5] with maybe a seasonal special. They also do food. Down to the Old Bank House with 5 beers, all interesting and an excellent range of ciders too. Back on ourselves now to the Tamworth Tap, CAMRA West Midlands Regional Pub of the Year. 8 beers again interesting and probably the best pub in Tamworth [CAMRA discount]. A walk now to the micropub, The Kings Ditch . 4-6 interesting beers and a fine selection of ciders. We finish off at the Sir Robert Peel. 5 beers, all interesting [CAMRA discount]
