Welcome to Dordon

Dordon is a small village located in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles north of Tamworth and 5 miles south of Atherstone. The village has a population of around 2,000 people and is known for its peaceful and rural setting. Dordon is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Doreton. It was originally a farming community and remained so until the 19th century when coal mining became the main industry in the area. The village was home to several coal mines, including the Birch Coppice Colliery, which was one of the largest in the country. Today, the colliery has been transformed into a large industrial estate, providing employment opportunities for the local community.

Dordon is a close-knit community with a range of amenities, including a primary school, a village hall, a post office, and several shops and pubs. The village is also home to the Birch Coppice Business Park, which is one of the largest distribution centers in the UK. The park is home to several major companies, including Amazon, DHL, and Ocado. Despite its industrial development, Dordon has managed to maintain its rural charm and remains a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful and picturesque setting.
