Solihull (/ˈsɒlihʌl,ˈsoʊl-,ˌsoʊliˈhʌl/SO(H)L-ee-hul, SOH-lee-HUL) is a market town and the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, in the West Midlands, England. Solihull is situated on the River Blythe in the Forest of Arden area. The town had a population of 126,577 at the 2021 Census, and its wider borough had a population of 216,240.[1][2] The town is located 8 miles (12 km) southeast of Birmingham and 13 miles (21 km) west of Coventry.
Solihull itself is mostly urban; however, the larger borough is rural in character, with many outlying villages, and three quarters of the borough designated as green belt.[3] The town and its borough, which has been part of Warwickshire for most of its history, has roots dating back to the 1st century BC, and was further formally established during the medieval era. Today the town is famed as, amongst other things, the birthplace of the Land Rover car marque, training facilities of the British Equestrian teams and is considered to be one of the most prosperous areas in the UK.
