Nuneaton is a large market town in northern Warwickshire, situated roughly 9 miles north of Coventry and 20 miles east of Birmingham. The town is known for its rich industrial heritage, largely stemming from coal mining and textiles, as well as its strong literary connections with novelist George Eliot, who was born on the outskirts and set many of her novels in the area. Nuneaton occupies a pivotal position between the Midlands’ major cities, which makes it appealing for commuters seeking reasonable travel times combined with a calmer lifestyle.
