Why Choose Mid-England Barrow?

The area local to Mid-England Barrow has so much to offer, and can possible tick everyone’s boxes of interests.

The countryside is second to none. Within 15 minutes car drive, one can be in the rolling Cotswolds countryside, with all it has to offer: Bourton on the Water, Burford, and Bibury, to name a few. Just 20 miles away are the Neolithic and Bronze age monuments The Rollright Stones.

I hardly need to explain what Stratford-Upon-Avon has to offer: Shakespeare everything (!), a beautiful river with excellent shops and restaurants, a famous theatre, all situated 40 minutes away.

Next on my list is Banbury (6 miles) with its historic cross.

Coventry (12 miles) with the surreal shell of a bombed Cathedral and the complimenting modern one nearby, and Leamington Spa (10 miles) with its famous elephant wash!!

Mid-England Barrow is conveniently situated less than 20 miles from Meriden – traditionally the centre of England.

All of this means we have fantastic road and rail links. However, we are also one field away from the Oxford Canal, and the D’Arcy Dalton Way. Passing nearby is the MacMillan Way and the Millennium Way, all of which wind through stunning local countryside.

Finally, I have to mention a great selection of pubs and restaurants in nearby villages, too many to list individually, with typical rural B and B’s too. Friends and family can plan their visit to Mid-England Barrow, knowing that there’s plenty to welcome them to the area. 

We are more than happy to recommend accommodation and places to eat, based on our and other visitors’ experiences
