Allesley Green & Lower Eastern Green

Allesley Green and Lower Eastern Green lie on the western edge of Coventry, where suburban streets meet the city's green belt. Allesley Green was built largely on former farmland in the late 20th century and is organised around short residential crescents and cul-de-sacs with small communal greens. Lower Eastern Green contains older houses and smallholdings that predate the estate, and narrow lanes give way to allotments and paddocks at the western boundary. Local facilities include a primary school, a community centre and a small parade of shops serving day-to-day needs.

A network of footpaths and bridleways links the neighbourhood to surrounding fields and to the broader Meriden Gap countryside. Playing fields and pocket parks are woven through the area, and one of the estate’s streets curves around a planted central green that acts as a local meeting point. Regular bus routes provide straightforward journeys into Coventry city centre, while short drives connect to the western bypass. Community groups use the hall and greens for seasonal events, reflecting the area’s mix of planned estate and older village fabric.
