Tucked away in the far northeastern corner of Warwickshire, where the county meets Leicestershire and Derbyshire, Austrey is a village that has retained its distinct rural identity despite its proximity to the M42. It is a place defined by its layout of timber-framed cottages - some dating back to the 15th century - and the striking 14th-century spire of St Nicholas Church, which serves as a landmark for miles around. Life here tends to revolve around the commute to nearby Atherstone or Tamworth, yet the village remains self-contained with its own shop, a primary school that has served the community for generations, and a pub, the Bird in Hand, which sits at the heart of the village. The surrounding landscape is gently undulating farmland, offering a network of footpaths that link the village to the neighbouring parish of Newton Regis. It is an honest, quiet corner of the Midlands that feels much further from the motorway network than it actually is.
