About

Sherbourne ward lies to the southeast of Coventry city centre, encompassing a mix of residential neighbourhoods and significant green spaces. The area is primarily residential, featuring a range of housing from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. Its eastern boundary is largely defined by the London to Birmingham railway line, which separates it from the Stivichall area. The ward includes the historic Sherbourne village, which gives the area its name and provides a distinct local centre with its own amenities and community feel.

A notable feature is the River Sherbourne, a key watercourse that flows northward through the ward, largely culverted beneath the city. The ward contains a portion of the War Memorial Park, one of Coventry's major public parks, offering extensive recreational space. Transport links are provided by several main roads, including the A4114 and A4600, connecting the area to the city centre and beyond. The local economy is supported by a variety of independent shops and services along Binley Road and other local thoroughfares.
