Tamworth, founded in 1728, is an historical hamlet in Cumberland County, Virginia, United States, centered along Tamworth Road.

In addition to the mill, there are several other structures of historical interest dating from the 18th and 19th centuries: the miller's residence; a farmhouse; barns; assorted outbuildings; a post office; and Tamworth Cottage. All of the buildings are privately owned and are shown by appointment only.
