Bedworth is a market town in the borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth, Warwickshire, England, sitting a few miles north of Coventry. It grew up as an industrial community and still feels like a compact, practical Midlands town with easy road links to Birmingham and the motorway network via the M6 and M69, making it a common commuter base for nearby cities.
Historically Bedworth was shaped by coal mining and small-scale manufacture such as ribbon weaving, and that industrial legacy survives in local landmarks and the Miners' Welfare green spaces. The town retains a strong community identity with events like the annual Bedworth Carnival, active local clubs and recent town-centre regeneration; the surrounding area also forms part of the Midlands landscape associated with George Eliot's novels.
