Warwickshire is bounded to the
northwest by the West Midlands metropolitan county and
Staffordshire, by Leicestershire to the northeast, Northamptonshire
to the east, Worcestershire to the west, Oxfordshire to the south
and Gloucestershire to the southwest. An average-sized English
county covering an area of almost 2,000 sq.km, it runs some 96 km /
60 miles north to south.
The majority of Warwickshire's population live in the north and
centre of the county. The market towns of northern and eastern
Warwickshire were industrialised in the 19th century, and include
Atherstone, Bedworth, Nuneaton, and Rugby. Major industries included
coal mining, textiles, engineering, and cement production, but heavy
industry is in decline, being replaced by distribution centres,
light to medium industry, and services. Of the northern and eastern
towns, only Nuneaton and Rugby (as the birthplace of Rugby football)
are well-known outside of Warwickshire. The prosperous towns of
central and western Warwickshire include Leamington Spa,
Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Alcester, and Warwick harbour light
to medium industries, services and tourism as major employment
sectors.
The south of the county is largely rural and sparsely populated, and
includes a small area of the Cotswolds. The only town in the south
of Warwickshire is Shipston-on-Stour. The highest point in the
county, at 261 m (856 ft), is Ebrington Hill on the border with
northernmost Gloucestershire, GR SP187426 at its southwest
extremity.
The north of the county, bordering Staffordshire and Leicestershire,
is mildly undulating countryside and the northernmost village, No
Man's Heath, is only 55 km / 34 miles south of the Peak District
National Park's southernmost point.
There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and
Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands county in 1974
and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves. The largest
towns in Warwickshire as of 2004 are: Nuneaton (pop. 77,500), Rugby
(62,700), Leamington Spa (45,300), and Bedworth (32,500). Stratford,
Warwick, and Kenilworth all house 20,000-25,000 inhabitants, while
the smaller towns of Atherstone, Alcester, Coleshill, Southam,
Bulkington, Polesworth, Kingsbury, Henley-in-Arden, Studley,
Shipston. Wellesbourne and Whitnash have populations between 5,000
and 12,000.
Historically much of western Warwickshire, including the area now
forming part of Birmingham and the West Midlands, was covered by the
ancient Forest of Arden (although most of this was cut down to
provide fuel for industrialisation in the 17th to 19th centuries).
For this reason, the names of a number of places in the northwestern
part of Warwickshire end with the phrase "-in-Arden", such as
Henley-in-Arden, Hampton-in-Arden and Tanworth-in-Arden (which was
home to the late singer-songwriter Nick Drake). |
