About

Hillfields sits just northeast of Coventry city centre, bordered by the ring road and Foleshill Road. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post-war housing estates. Its main commercial spine runs along Victoria Street and Cash's Lane, hosting a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, and community services. The layout is defined by a dense street grid that reflects its historical development as an early suburb during the city's industrial expansion.

The area contains the Hillfields Public Garden, a formal green space with a distinctive war memorial obelisk. Coventry Sports and Leisure Centre is a major local facility on Paynes Lane. Historically a centre for ribbon weaving, the district's street names, like Weaver Street and Ribble Road, still nod to this textile past. The area directly overlooks the inner ring road, with several footbridges providing pedestrian connections to the city centre beyond.
