North Warwickshire

North Warwickshire spans 110 square miles of agricultural land, featuring market towns and villages between Birmingham and Coventry, with Atherstone as its administrative center.

The district formed on April 1, 1974, through the merger of Atherstone Rural District and sections of Meriden Rural District under the Local Government Act 1972.

The region maintains strong literary connections through George Eliot, who spent her childhood at Arbury Hall in the southern portion of the district.

The district connects to major transportation routes via the M6 and M42 motorways, providing direct access to Birmingham, Coventry, and other urban centers.

Kingsbury Water Park and Shustoke Reservoir form part of the district's water features, while Maxstoke Castle represents its medieval architectural heritage.
