Old Arley is a village in the north of Warwickshire, England 10.5 miles (16.9 km) north west of the city of Coventry. Population details from the 2011 Census can be found in Arley
The village is within the civil parish of Arley in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire of which it is the less populated settlement. It is to the west of the stream called Bourne Brook and the Birmingham to Peterborough railway line. The other settlement within the parish is New Arley which is south-east.
Elevations of developed estates range from a maximum of 153-155m AOD in the Devitts Green western part of the village, gently down to 112m at the southernmost neighbourhood, which adjoins the brook itself, which by the time it reaches the western tip of the parish at the defunct Daw Mill colliery, is at 92m AOD. The locality of New Arley known as Hill Top is higher still at 166m, the highest point of the parish.
The village and parish is 10.5 miles (16.9 km) north west of the city of Coventry, and 6.8 miles (10.9 km) west of the town of Nuneaton but with equally good connections to Coleshill and to Birmingham, particularly its airport/NEC area.
The nearest railway station is at Atherstone railway station which is 4.8 miles (7.7 km) north east of the village.
The B4114 runs along gentle hillsides east-west to the north of the village and travels west 4 miles (6.4 km) to meet the motorway network by the village of Coleshill on the nearside of Spaghetti Junction providing there a direct route over that junction to Birmingham or a short stretch (of the A446) south to Junction 4 of the M6 for longer distance journeys.
