Tanworth-in-Arden. The centre of the village with the War Memorial, village green and the 14th century church of St Mary Magdalene beyond. One of this picturesque village's more dubious claims to fame was as the outdoor setting for village of King's Oak in the long defunct TV soap Crossroads. This village deserves a return visit on a sunnier day!
