Polesworth, Warton and Austrey form a patchwork of villages and farmland in North Warwickshire. Polesworth is the largest settlement, set along a stretch of the Coventry Canal and centred on the remains of a medieval abbey that now serves as the parish church. The canal towpath, a line of moorings and locks, passes close to the village and links a sequence of rural lanes, small shops and community facilities. Local events and a village hall anchor everyday life and provide services for surrounding farms and hamlets.

Austrey sits nearer the county boundary and is organised around a village green and parish church, with a network of footpaths that cross arable land and pastures. Public transport is limited; many residents use local roads to reach larger towns.
