Austrey sits in the far north of North Warwickshire, in Warwickshire, close to the county boundary with Leicestershire. The parish retains a distinctly rural feel with rolling farmland, hedgerows and a compact village core of stone and brick cottages; the surrounding landscape gives a sense of being tucked away from larger urban centres while still within reach of regional road links.
Historically agricultural, the village still has working farms alongside a mix of small businesses and a number of residents who commute further afield for work. Social life is centred on the village hall, local clubs and seasonal events, and there are quiet pockets of historic interest around the centre. Local attractions just a short drive away, such as Twycross Zoo, bring occasional visitors, but the parish largely keeps the steady, community-driven rhythm of a traditional Warwickshire village.
