Rugby
The busy market town of Rugby is well known for the game that took its name and for the public school, but there’s much more to the town than excellent schools and fabulous green spaces. Your new build has access to great cultural events and festivals as well as art galleries and theatres. Caldecott Park provides expansive green space with year-round walks, a playground and café.
If you would like your coffee with a side order of excellent shopping, head to the town centre for markets on a Monday, Friday and Saturday as well as a pedestrianised shopping street and three shopping centres - Elliots Field Retail Park, Junction One Retail Park and Rugby Central - all packed with high street brands. Alternatively, grab a train and take a night out in Birmingham (31 minutes) or London (53 minutes).
