Barnacle is a small rural village in the borough of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England. It lies a few miles from the town of Rugby and within commuting distance of Coventry, so it combines a quiet countryside setting with reasonable links to the West Midlands urban area.
Historically agricultural, the settlement is characterised by farmhouses, stone cottages and hedgerow-lined lanes set among small woodlands and arable fields. Local social life tends to centre on neighbouring parishes and community events rather than retail or industry in the village itself, and many residents commute to nearby towns and motorways for work; its tranquillity and walking routes attract people seeking a rural base close to larger centres.
