Burton Green is a village and civil parish in the Warwick district, in the county of Warwickshire, England, some 3.5 miles (5.5 km) northwest of Kenilworth and 8 km (5.0 mi) southwest of Coventry (where the population can be found in Abbey Ward). It is mostly residential, surrounded by farmland and has a village hall, a primary school and a pub called the 'Peeping Tom', now a Pub/Restaurant "Hickory's Smokehouse".

It is situated directly on the border with Coventry and is contiguous with the city's Tile Hill Village and Westwood Heath districts.

Burton Green comprises four roads: Red Lane, Hob Lane, Hodgetts Lane and Cromwell Lane.

There is a disused water tower off Cromwell Lane, which has now been converted into a private home.[2]

High Speed 2

The route for the proposed high-speed rail line, called High Speed 2, from London to Birmingham will run underneath the centre of Burton Green in a 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) tunnel,[3] reusing a disused rail route that is currently a Greenway.
