Hartshill

Hartshill

Hartshill is a small village in the borough of North Warwickshire, England.

Hartshill is three miles from the town of Nuneaton but is still regarded as a suburb of the town despite being on the border line of the boroughs of Nuneaton and Bedworth and North Warwickshire.

Hartshill is famous for the writer Michael Drayton who knew William Shakespeare. A school built in Hartshill bears his name; he did have a bus stop named after him on the Green where he was born but it had to be removed due to vandalism by local youths.
