This area of the website provides information to companies on what Warwickshire has to offer not just as a business location, but as a place to live and spend your free time.
The county is split into five districts each with their own distinctive feel, but wherever you are in the county there is always a sense that you can access everything you need, without the hassles that go with life in the large cities.
The county of Warwickshire, also known as Shakespeare's country, is an area | |
that lies at the heart of England. Warwickshire is a place of great contrast with areas of outstanding beauty, coming from the south where the Cotswolds blend into Warwickshire, up to the industrial pits and canals of the northern coal mines.

 | Warwickshire is the most easterly of the counties within the West Midlands region. Bordered by Staffordshire to the north-west; Leicestershire to the north-east; Northamptonshire to the east; Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire to the south-east and south-west; and by Worcestershire and the West Midlands metropolitan county to the west.
Having a central location within England, as well as numerous motorways serving the county, mean all major towns are easily accessible and travelling to Warwickshire is straightforward. The nearby attractions of the Cotswolds, Birmingham and London are all easily accessible. |
