Set in the heart of England, the undulating county of Warwickshire
is famous as the birthplace of William Shakespeare. He was born in
Stratford-upon-Avon and today the town has a thriving industry
based around its famous son. This part of Warwickshire is still
largely rural today, including the area north of Stratford which
was once the historic Forest of Arden. The county town of Warwick
has many interesting historic features, not least its impressive
castle, as do the major towns of Leamington Spa and Rugby. Coventry
is historically part of Warwickshire and has been a major centre in
the Midlands for centuries. This densely populated part of
Warwickshire extends to Nuneaton and Bedworth and into the
north-east of the county, where the last mine of the Warwickshire
Coalfield closed in 2013. 50 Gems of Warwickshire explores the many
places and their history that make this part of the country so
special, including natural features, towns and villages, buildings
and places of historical interest. Alongside justly famous
attractions, others will be relatively unknown but all have an
interesting story to tell.
