Map of the UK

The small village and civil parish of Maxstoke sits in the district of North Warwickshire in Warwickshire, England, a rural enclave a few miles east of Coleshill and within commuting distance of Birmingham and Coventry. The surrounding landscape is gently rolling farmland and hedgerows, with quiet lanes and good road links to the wider region via the M42 and M6, which helps shape a mixed rural‑commuter character.

Maxstoke’s most notable landmark is Maxstoke Castle, a moated 14th‑century stronghold that gives the parish a strong historic identity; the area contains other historic buildings and a long agricultural tradition. Today the community is small and close‑knit, with farming and small local businesses alongside residents who commute out for work, and local life tends to centre on the historic core, country walks and occasional village events rather than heavy commercial activity.
