Coventry and Bedworth Urban Area

Map of the Coventry/Bedworth Urban Area.

The Coventry/Bedworth Urban Area has a population of 336,452 making it the 20th largest conurbation in the United Kingdom and the 17th largest in England by population. It is also one of the most densely populated.

The largest settlement is Coventry (population 303,475) which is within the West Midlands County. Bedworth (population 32,268) is the other main part of the conurbation but is however within Warwickshire and falls under the District of Nuneaton and Bedworth. There are no other towns in the conurbation.

There is a very small amount of green belt between the Coventry/Bedworth Urban Area and the Nuneaton Urban Area in the north, however with the development of industrial and retail units in south Nuneaton, the two conurbations are virtually connected, and also between Coventry and Kenilworth. A larger area of green belt exists between Coventry and the Greater West Midlands Urban Area which extends to about 5 miles.
