Tanworth-in-Arden is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England, set in gently rolling countryside that forms part of the historic Forest of Arden. It sits within the West Midlands greenbelt and is popular with commuters thanks to its relative closeness to Birmingham and Solihull, while retaining a distinctly rural character of lanes, hedgerows and farmed land.
The village has a long history reflected in its medieval parish church of St Mary Magdalene and a lively local community with a village hall, sports clubs and a pub, plus small-scale agriculture and local businesses. It attracts walkers and visitors and has a cultural claim to fame: the folk singer Sandy Denny is buried in the churchyard, which adds a note of pilgrimage for music fans alongside the area's historic and natural appeal.
