Long Lawford is a village and civil parish on the western edge of Rugby in Warwickshire, sitting close to the town yet still bordered by open Warwickshire countryside and the meanders of the nearby River Avon. Its position makes it a popular commuter spot for people working in Rugby, Coventry and further afield via the rail and road links at Rugby station and the surrounding motorway network.
Historically rooted in agriculture, Long Lawford mixes older cottages and village landmarks with later 20th‑century housing developments; community life centres on a village hall, primary school, church and a couple of pubs, with sports pitches and footpaths used for local events and countryside walks. The parish retains a village feel and an active local council, while many residents balance that rural character with full participation in the wider regional economy.
