About

North Warwickshire lies in the northern part of Warwickshire in the West Midlands. The district includes towns and large villages such as Atherstone, Coleshill, Polesworth and Dordon, and the borough council is based at Atherstone. Agriculture, mixed woodland and small settlements shape much of the land, while the Coventry Canal and the River Anker run through parts of the district, carrying narrowboats and local drainage. Scattered former industrial sites sit alongside green belts and parish fields, and the pattern of lanes links village centres to market towns.

Atherstone is known for its Shrovetide Ball Game, played in the town on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, an event that draws local teams and traditions each year. The A5 crosses the district at Atherstone and the M42 cuts the southern edge near Coleshill, giving road links for commuting and freight. Local centres host markets, parish churches and community halls, and planning aims balance housing needs with protecting farmland and canal corridors while supporting local businesses.
