Polesworth is a large village and civil parish in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, set beside the River Anker and crossed by the Coventry Canal. Its skyline is marked by the remains of a centuries‑old abbey and a medieval church, visible reminders of a long monastic and market history, and the parish sits between Tamworth and Atherstone with easy links into the wider West Midlands.
Today Polesworth keeps a strong community feel with independent shops, pubs and active local groups, plus green corridors along the canal and river that are popular with walkers and cyclists. Many residents commute to nearby towns or Birmingham, while local small businesses and light industry sit alongside heritage tourism and regular community events that celebrate the village’s character.
