Located in the east of Warwickshire is Rugby, a market town that is brimming with charm. Whilst the town isn’t huge by any means, it does have a great amount of history and culture to share. Near the River Avon, if you find yourself in Rugby, you can always take a stroll along the river and enjoy the stunning scenery. Trips down the canal are also popular, and there are plenty of chances for a hike in the countryside or a visit to some of the local shops and boutiques. You may have assumed that Rugby is the birthplace of the sport, rugby, and you’d be right. Although this sport is now popular throughout the world, the people of Rugby are still very proud of their role in this great invention. William Webb Ellis was the creator of this ball sport and was a school pupil who broke the rules of football in an 1823 match.
