キューリズリーの天然記念物・トップ5

Large green park with many tarmac'd paths in good condition. Also contains football and cricket pitches, foot-golf course, tennis courts, skate park and childrens' activity playground. There are two cafes within the two pavillions, along with ornamental areas with ponds. There is a large War Memorial monument. The park is also home to Coventry Park Run.

Coventry’s War Memorial Park opened in July 1921 as a tribute to the 2,587 Coventrians who died during the First World War. Coventry City Council used money donated by the public to purchase the land from the Lords of Styvechale Manor, the Gregory-Hood family. At the time it was a large grassed area that was part of Styvechale (Stivichall) Common. The landscaped gardens and sports areas were created in the late-1920s and 1930s. During the Second World War, barrage balloons and anti-aircraft guns were sited in the park and the large concrete blocks where they were positioned still exist.

Here stands an unexpected outcrop in the shape of a wall made up of Coventry Sandstone, also known as Corley Rocks. It's a magnificent place to stop and admire some rock formations that are thought to have been there since the boundary of the Carboniferous and Permian periods.

Old structure converted into a potential home for bat's and also explaining the plight of these enigmatic creatures.

From this spot, you get far-reaching views over Warwickshire and beyond. There are a couple of benches from which you can admire the landscape. It is worth exploring Hartshill Hayes Country Park, which is composed of two ancient hilly woodlands renowned for stunning displays of bluebells in spring.

They look as if they have been used for short climbing... Just lift Corley...

The name "Berkswell" has long been attributed to the presence of the well - "In Domesday book it is written Berchewelle, having first had that denomination (as I guess) from the large Spring which boileth up on the South side of the Churchyard" wrote the Warwickshire historian Sir William Dugdale in the mid 18th century. The English place names society suggested that the name Berkswell means Well or Spring of Bercul, a personal name that is found in Mercia ( wherein "Berkswell" lay) in the eighth century. Christianity had been brought to this area by travelling monks from Lichfield. A local leader, Bercul, is said to have been baptised in the well. The well was the source of water for many villagers, including the school, right up until the mid twentieth century. In the nineteenth century a pipe was laid from the Well to Berkswell Hall where a hydraulic water ram lifted it for use in the Hall up until the eve of the second world war. The well was refurbished in to its present form in 1851.
