Coton Green is a small housing estate north of Tamworth. Originally built from around 1970 the development contains a mix of private and council owned houses.
Along with the Riverside/Alders developments, parts of Leyfields and all of Coton Lane it forms part of the Mercian Ward.
One of the main features of Coton Green is the stunning Wigginton Park.
Wigginton park is the base for Tamworth Rugby Union Football Club.
Coton Green also has three schools: Coton Green Primary School, Lark Hall Infants School, and St. Elizabeths RC Primary School. The closest two secondary schools to Coton Green are The Rawlett School and Landau Forte Academy QEMS.
At the heart of the development is a very popular parade of shops and The Coton Arms pub.

Famous quotes containing the word green:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
