It sites astride the junction of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and Coventry Canal and at Fazeley Junction are a couple of multi storey mills. Fazeley is also adjacent to Drayton Manor, formerly the home of Robert Peel and now a theme park and zoo.


Fazeley sits astride the old Roman road of Watling Street which is now much quieter following the move of the A5 road to run on a new course between Fazeley and Tamworth.
