The name of this Warwickshire town is famous across the world due to the sport which was born here. The story runs that a boy by the name of William Webb Ellis decided to run with the ball during a school football match. From this, the game of rugby is believed to have been developed. Unsuprisingly, there are a number of tourist attractions relating to the sport around the town, and you can even visit Rugby School, where it all began.

The town of Rugby is not just about the sport however. This thriving community is home to a theatre, which also shows films and there is a wide range of facilities at the local leisure centre. Features of interest around the town include the market place, bordered by high street shops, and a statue to the poet Rupert Brooke – who was the son of a Rugby School housemaster.
