Dordon sits on the northern edge of North Warwickshire in Warwickshire, England, close to the Staffordshire border and neighbouring villages such as Polesworth and the larger town of Tamworth. It occupies a semi-rural spot with easy road links to the M42 and A5, giving residents good access to the West Midlands while still being surrounded by Warwickshire countryside.
Once a small farming settlement that expanded significantly with 19th–20th century coal‑mining, Dordon has shifted to a mixed economy with logistics and warehousing nearby at places like Birch Coppice. Community life is centred on local schools, clubs and parish amenities, and the village combines long‑standing local families with a growing commuter population.
