About

Willenhall is a residential district situated in the south of Coventry, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more recent developments. The area is primarily residential, with local amenities centred around the Bell Green retail park, which provides essential shopping and services. The topography includes gentle slopes and several green spaces, such as Willenhall Wood and the land bordering the River Sowe, which runs along its western edge.

The area's layout reflects its history of expansion during the 20th century. A notable local feature is the Willenhall Social Club, a longstanding community hub. Public transportation links connect it to Coventry city centre and neighbouring suburbs, while the nearby Coventry Canal forms part of the western boundary. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a focus on practical family living rather than tourist attractions.
