Coventry and Bedworth urban area
The Coventry and Bedworth Urban Area, also called the Coventry Built-up Area, is a large, dense urban area in England. In 2011 it had a population of 359,252, making it the 16th largest urban area in England and Wales. By 2021, its population had grown to 389,603.
The biggest town is Coventry, in the West Midlands. Bedworth (about 30,648 people) and Binley Woods (about 2,665 people) are the other main parts of the urban area, both in Warwickshire—Bedworth in the Nuneaton and Bedworth district and Binley Woods in the Rugby district. There are no other towns in the conurbation.
There is only a small amount of green belt between Coventry/Bedworth and the Nuneaton Urban Area to the north, and development in south Nuneaton has effectively connected the areas. There is also some green belt between Coventry and Kenilworth. A larger green belt lies between Coventry and the Greater West Midlands Urban Area, about 5 miles away.
