Where to stay in Hillmorton
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rugby town centre keeps the rooms. Hillmorton is a residential ward set out from the centre, so staying here trades the town's own supply for village streets, the round mound at Hillmorton and the Paddox estate next door. Brownsover and Overslade are the other Rugby wards. Rooms cluster where the Borough of Rugby concentrates them, which is the town centre, not Hillmorton.

About Hillmorton
What are the main landmarks in Hillmorton?
One monument, and it is old. The round mound at Hillmorton is the single heritage entry the district carries, which leaves the Borough of Rugby ward without a church, a hall or a museum listed under its own name. Paddox adds housing, not monuments.
Everything else with a name belongs to Rugby town centre, which the ward sits apart from.
What is the history of Hillmorton?
The village lost its independence in 1932. Hillmorton had been a settlement in its own right before that year, when incorporation into Rugby turned it into a suburb and, in time, into a ward of the Borough of Rugby. The Paddox estate complicated the boundary.
Maps print that housing as 'Hillmorton Paddox', though the ground belongs to a separate ward called Paddox rather than to Hillmorton itself.
Where is Hillmorton?
Hillmorton forms much of the eastern half of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England, with the Paddox estate lying alongside the old village.
