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:
“Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car,
And driven the hamadryad from the wood
To seek a shelter in some happier star?
Hast thou not torn the naiad from her flood,
The elfin from the green grass, and from me
The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
