About

Coleshill and Water Orton form a settled area in North Warwickshire, positioned where the River Tame and the River Cole meet. The landscape is characterised by flat floodplain meadows, with the M6 and M42 motorways intersecting nearby, creating a major transport corridor. Coleshill itself is a historic market town with a traditional high street layout, while Water Orton is a more linear village development to the south. The presence of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal adds a quiet, green waterway through the locality.

The area's history is visibly tied to its rivers and transport links. Coleshill's Church of St. Peter and St. Paul stands on a prominent hill, a landmark for centuries. A specific local feature is the network of ancient footpaths crossing the floodplain, connecting the settlements to the remnants of Kingsbury Water Park and the wider rural landscape. The land use is a practical mix of residential areas, light industry near the motorway junctions, and open agricultural fields.
