A
Tudor Hotel
Elegantly decorated with a romantic '80s record oozing from the restaurant. Garlic prawns and avocado taste good whether you are downstairs or up as it is the same menu on both levels.

B
Café Africa
Herbivores stay away, you will be confused by the Kalahari Bushman Skewers, and distraught by the Game of the Day. But carnivores are you ready for the Massal Challenge? Eat two Massai 1kg rumps and get the third one free.

C
Australian Country Music Foundation
If the names Tex Morton, Buddy Williams and Smoky Dawson mean anything to you, then this will too. This is a country-music great Hall of Fame (in the making) with photographs, historic video and film footage, music and souvenirs.

D
Motorcycle Museum
Containing three million bucks worth of bikes, Motorcycle Museum memorabilia has been collected by none other than the owner of the Quality Powerhouse Hotel next door. Three cheers for capitalism. There's not much floor space left, not even for the humble Norton 500.

E
Calala Cottage
Calala Cottage is where you may get a hand-held tour but gee it's informative. The slab hut, coach house and blacksmiths were all built just before the Manor in 1875. Coffee freaks will love the old wrought-iron coffee-grinder.

Oxley Scenic Lookout
Grab a bottle of wine and follow jacaranda-lined White St to the very top, where you'll reach this viewpoint. It is the best seat in the house as the sun goes down over Tamworth and the surrounding Liverpool Ranges.

G
Tamworth Hotel
This place says country club and so does the slightly conservative crowd that drink here. There is a brasserie but no loud bands, just the faint sizzle of steaks and subtle hint of pretension wafting throughout the hotel.

Leconfield Jackaroo & Jillaroo School
Keen on mustering, milking, shearing and shoeing? This school will have you sorting the cowboys from the girls' blouses in no time.

Immrama
If the couches and coffee tables in this cafe don’t help you kick back and relax then the long list of ‘well-being’ and ‘relaxation’ teas might. It also serves organic coffee, cake and a seasonal lunch menu.

Central Hotel
More of a laid-back affair, the Central Hotel, with its old-school, art deco exterior, pulls an older crowd and bands or a DJ on weekends. You’ll make friends here whether you like it or not.

Filling Groovy
With an emphasis on healthy and filling, this bright little cafe runs the gamut of salad-stuffed baguettes, wraps and sandwiches that go down a treat with smoothies and fresh juices.

Oxley Marsupial Park
Overfriendly cockatoos and other native animals live here alongside barbecues and picnic shelters. The park joins the Kamilaroi walking track.

Old Vic Café
An earthy country feel in terms of cheesecloth and Betty Crocker rather than tassels and bow legs. Get anything from a sandwich to a rump steak.

SSS BBQ Barns
Decked out in all kinds of miscellany and memorabilia, this lively restaurant-bar is the perfect place to ingest a big bit of beef.

Q
Tamworth Hotel
Heritage colours and a 1930s design make this one of Tamworth's more aesthetically pleasing pubs. Choose from a formal dining area with white tablecloths and shiny glasses, or cook your own meat in the bistro/brasserie. There's a great rear courtyard the kids will love. There are basic pub rooms upstairs (s/d $40/50).

Sleepy Monkey
A rather plain exterior belies the fun interior of this excellent food and coffee option. The menu is a cut above, with wagyu burgers and Vietnamese prawn salads, or just sip on a wine while flicking through magazines and newspapers on a long communal table. Call ahead for occasional dinners.
