Hotels, Guest accommodation, Self Catering & Camping in Coleshill

Coleshill is an interesting market town in North Warwickshire, just 11 miles east of Birmingham, and close to both the M42 and M6 motorways. The town is full of history and in the Market Square you will find the town's pillory and whipping post. Historically, these were used to punish drunks, and bakers who sold underweight loaves! A notable building in the town is the Church of St Peter and St Paul with its 52-metre (170 ft) high steeple, one of the finest in Warwickshire, dating from the 13th century. At the top of Coleshill, just past Packington Lane, is a red post box that bears the Royal Seal of Edward VIII; one of a small number to have been placed in the UK before his abdication. Most of Coleshill is based around its High Street, with a number of shops and services along the street. Many former coaching inns remain and there are also award-winning restaurants.
