The history of Nailsworth goes back to ancient times. It has always been a small town or village. Nailsworth only began to develop in the 19th century, when mills were built here, and it became a center for the brewing industry. There was service here from 1867 until 1947 but has since been discontinued.

Today Nailsworth is a quiet, charming English town. It holds a farmers' market on the fourth Saturday of every month, and stages an annual Nailsworth Festival.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
