Tamworth Area

Description
Best known as Australia's Country Music Capital, Tamworth welcomes over 50,000 visitors each January for the Country Music Festival. Day trips from Tamworth can take you all over this lovely part of the world, from Manilla - Australia's premier site for hang gliding and paragliding to Nundle and Hanging Rock - where the trout are tastier! With over 50 motels, bed and breakfasts, farm stays and caravan parks to choose from, it's a great stopover and an even better place to base yourself for a few days of exploring the surrounding areas and attractions. Tamworth will delight you with a great range of eateries, cafes and multi award winning restaurants, topped off with our local wineries. Aboriginal legend states that Tamworth is a "meeting place" - and people meet here for every reason - major sporting, equine, musical and trade exhibitions are part and parcel of Tamworth's year round attraction.
