Atherstone is one of those proper old market towns that still feels like a town, not a commuter cut-through. Tucked up in the north of Warwickshire, close to the border with Staffordshire and Leicestershire, it's a place with real identity. The high street's packed with character, the locals are proud of their traditions, and there's a good mix of shops, eateries and community life. It's known for keeping a bit of grit alongside the charm, and that's part of what makes it so endearing.

The town goes back centuries—Roman roots, medieval markets and a long link with hat-making. Back in the day, Atherstone was famous for producing felt hats that ended up across the globe. You'll still find a nod to that heritage dotted around town. Historically, it was also the site of the Battle of Bosworth's planning, with Richard III said to have spent his final night here. These days, the population's just shy of 10,000, and while it's not a huge place, it's got plenty going on and still hosts the Shrove Tuesday Ball Game, a local tradition that dates back hundreds of years and brings the streets to life.

Atherstone's packed with little gems. The Memorial Hall hosts everything from theatre to yoga, and the canal walks are a peaceful escape if you fancy a slower pace. There's a market square where you can grab local produce or just sit with a coffee and watch the world go by. Not far out, you've got lovely countryside walks and places like Hartshill Hayes Country Park. For heritage lovers, nearby Tamworth Castle (English Heritage) is well worth a look, and National Trust favourites like Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House aren't far either.

Further across Warwickshire, there's plenty to explore. Stratford-upon-Avon is always a winner, especially if you're into theatre or Tudor charm. Warwick's got its dramatic castle and cobbled streets, while Leamington Spa gives you a mix of regency architecture, leafy parks and indie shopping. Then there's Rugby, with its history tied to the sport, and all the little villages and hidden spots in between. Whether it's grand houses, rural views or a proper pub lunch, there's no shortage of options.

Getting to Atherstone is easy enough. The town sits on the A5 and close to the M42, so road access is a breeze. The railway station has direct trains to Birmingham and London via the West Coast Main Line, which makes it handy for commuters and visitors alike. If you're heading abroad, Birmingham Airport is your best bet, just over half an hour away. Local buses link up surrounding villages, and the town itself is easy to get around on foot or by bike.

Warwickshire as a whole has a bit of everything—rolling hills, historic towns, and a mix of traditional and modern living. It's the kind of county that offers a strong community feel alongside some real cultural weight. From canals to castles and market towns to museums, there's something about Warwickshire that stays with you. It's not just the big sights—it's the spaces between them that often leave the biggest impression.
