Location

Lapworth is a wonderful Warwickshire village on the outskirts of Solihull, approximately 13 miles from Birmingham. It has established itself as one of the area’s most aspirational villages. Abundant country walks are favoured amongst locals throughout all seasons, being on the junction of the Stratford Canal and the Grand Union Canal.

There is no shortage of excellent dining options including The Boot Inn, The Navigation and The Punchbowl to name a few, all with outside dining, and a mix of cosy yet modern bars and restaurants.  National Trust at Packwood House offers a most idyllic setting and a trip to see its famous Yew Garden is most recommended.

Lapworth centre also offers a village store, Doctors, wine merchants, car garage and train station with lines running by both Chiltern Railway and West Midlands Railway Services. The thriving village hall is keen in promoting community activities.
