Beyond sport, opportunities to explore the town’s architectural character, shaped by the works of William Butterfield, are available. The Grand Union Canal provides a backdrop for some events, while the proximity of the M1 and M6 motorways, and the West Coast Main Line, make Rugby accessible for visitors.
