A Guide to Warwickshire from a Shrieval Perspective
The County
Warwickshire is a landlocked non-metropolitan County in the West Midlands region of England. The County town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton. The County is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The estimated population of Warwickshire is c 600,000 (564,562 in 2017 according to web).
The five districts of Warwickshire are Nuneaton, Bedworth, Rugby, Warwick and Stratford upon Avon and together they form the Warwickshire County Council area, and are within the 1974 boundaries.
