For the original B4111 between Coventry and the A427 at North Kilworth, see B4111 (Coventry - Kilworth).
The B4111 is a fairly short B-road in north Warwickshire. The road was originally numbered B4115, then quickly upgraded to A4131. However, the road had been downgraded again by 1975, gaining its present number as the original was no longer available.
The road starts on the B4114 in the Camp Hill area of Nuneaton. It heads northwest out of town and soon enters a reclaimed, post-industrial landscape. It passes a few lakes which are barely visible. The Coventry Canal is then crossed, after which the road runs alongside the West Coast Main Line for a short distance before a tight right-left zigzag takes the road under the railway.
We continue to follow the railway line, albeit not as closely, and pass a garden centre before crossing actual fields to reach Mancetter. We run through the centre of town and bear right on the village green onto Harpers Lane. It's not long before the end of the road is reached, at a pear-shaped roundabout at the eastern end of the A5 Atherstone bypass.
