The conurbation consists of the large towns of Nuneaton and Hinckley, as well as the large villages of Hartshill and Bulkington. The majority of the area lies within Warwickshire, however, Hinckley is in Leicestershire and part of the East Midlands.

It is very close to and almost forms a continuous conurbation with the Coventry/Bedworth Urban Area. Nearby Atherstone, only 6 miles to the northwest of Nuneaton (and 3.5 miles from Hartshill), is not technically a part of the official urban area, though it is often considered as such due to its close proximity.

According to ESPON parts of the urban area are in the Leicester metropolitan area whilst other parts are in the Birmingham metropolitan area.[1]
