About North Warwickshire

Nuneaton and Bedworth

Situated in the north of Warwickshire, the borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth has a diverse population of around 129,000. Bordering the districts of both North Warwickshire and Coventry, the borough is in an excellent position for transport links across both Warwickshire and the wider West Midlands.

Both Nuneaton and Bedworth are steeped in history and are mentioned as far back as the Doomsday Book. Both have a past in coal mining and are established market towns with successful markets still present today.

Perhaps most well known as being the birth place of the famous author George Eliot, Nuneaton is the largest of two towns and attracts visitors from around Warwickshire. The River Anker runs through the town centre and into Riversley Park, a formal park that extends from the town centre to the outskirts.

Bedworth is the smaller of our two towns and one of it’s most notable buildings is the historical Nicholas Chamberlaine Almshouses dating back to 1840. The town is also home to the Civic Hall, a multi purpose entertainment venue and theatre which overlooks the Miner’s Welfare Park, an extensive recreation space, including sports facilities and formal informal park areas.
