Walsgrave manages to keep its village roots — the old church, the community around Ansty Road — despite sitting next to one of Coventry's biggest hospitals and the M6. For local drivers, life is a mix of short hospital-area hops and longer motorway runs.
We're a short drive away in Meriden, at Home Farm on Meriden Road (CV7 7SL). From Walsgrave it's a clear run round towards the A45 and Meriden, away from the worst of the hospital and motorway congestion.

Walsgrave cars often clock a lot of short hops to University Hospital plus motorway bursts onto the M6/A46. That pattern is hard on batteries, DPF filters on diesels, and front brakes.
