Fazeley

Fazeley

Fazeley is a small town in the District of Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. Fazeley is located on the outskirts of Tamworth.

It sits astride the junction of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and Coventry Canal; at Fazeley Junction are a couple of multi storey mills. Fazeley is also adjacent to Drayton Manor, formerly the home of Robert Peel and now a theme park and zoo.

Fazeley also sits astride the old Roman road of Watling Street, which is now much quieter following the move of the A5 road to run on a new course between Fazeley and Tamworth.

Nearby is Middleton Hall, a grade II listed building currently being restored by a charitable trust.

The local primary school, Millfield Primary School was built in Victorian times and part of the original building still remains. The current head teacher, Mr Moon has been in charge for many years.

The First Annual Fazeley Festival and Mile Oak Mile Charity Run took place on 15th September 2007.

Fazeley is most famous for Drayton Manor Theme Park. The noise from the park can be heard from Fazeley. The park generates a lot of tourism for the surrounding area.
