LOCATION

Tanworth in Arden has long been regarded as one of the outstanding village locations not only within the Midlands area but also nationally. It has a fascinating history dating back many centuries and perhaps might be described as a quintessential English village with its fine village green surrounded by period properties that boast differing styles of architecture, its village green with spreading chestnut tree and adjoining inn.

Ideally located, the village is only some 11 miles south of Birmingham city centre whilst there is easy access to the other main surrounding centres which include Solihull and Redditch, only about 7 miles, Stratford upon Avon about 13 miles to the south and the county town of Warwick some 10 miles with the major centre of Leamington Spa a further 2 miles beyond. There is readily available access to the motorway network with junction 3 of the M42 only 3 miles or so distant and this giving rapid access to the M5, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station and southbound via the M40 to Oxford, London and the Home Counties.

Within the village itself there are local sporting facilities including tennis and cricket, the fine Old Bell Inn well noted throughout the area for its fine food and drink, the village hall, highly reputed junior school and magnificent old church. Just a few minutes drive away are the old market town of Henley in Arden with various banking, shopping and secondary schooling facilities, much the same being available in the villages of Knowle and Dorridge whilst there are useful passenger rail facilities at Wood End and Danzey Green, both only about a mile away, and on the Birmingham/Stratford upon Avon (Shakespeare) line.
