Brinklow is a village and civil parish in the Rugby district of Warwickshire, England. It is about halfway between Rugby and Coventry. The parish had a population of 1,120 at the 2021 Census.

Brinklow is an ancient settlement located on the Fosse Way former roman road, it is most well known for the large earthwork remains of Brinklow Castle. ==History== The village likely has ancient origins as there was a pre-Roman burial mound located here, which the Romans diverted their Fosse Way road around. The mound later became a Norman motte-and-bailey castle (Brinklow Castle, known locally as The Tump or the Big Hill), which is one of the largest and best preserved of its type in England.
