Berkswell is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Solihull, sitting on the rural fringe of the West Midlands and historically part of Warwickshire. The village has a well‑preserved centre with a village green, timber‑framed cottages and the medieval church of St John the Baptist, and benefits from proximity to Coventry with regular rail links from Berkswell station that make it popular with commuters.
Despite its modest size the community is lively, with a village hall, pub, cricket club and seasonal events, while the surrounding farmland keeps a strong rural feel. The area also has a culinary claim to fame: traditional hard ewe’s‑milk Berkswell cheese is produced locally, reflecting the mix of small‑scale agriculture and commuter economy that defines the parish today.
