Peaceful & Tidy, enjoyed it

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.

This outcrop tells a story of when Kenilworth lay just north of the Equator in a semi-desert climate with market wet and dry seasons. Many buildings in Old Kenilworth, notably the Castle, the Abbey and St. Nicholas Church, are built of the local Kenilworth Sandstone that you can observe here.

The War Memorial Park in Coventry is a tribute to the lives lost during WWI and 2. The park spans 121 acres and offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere to relax and stroll around in. The park features walking paths, sports fields, a playground and a lake.

Pretty tree-lined avenue in the War Memorial Park. Pack yourself some lunch and take a seat on one of the many picnic benches along here.

Kenilworth Greenway is a former railway line, now a 6.5km multi-user path, which runs between Kenilworth and Berkswell through scenic countryside. Some of the Greenway is due to be removed by HS2, but diversions are in place.

I just don't understand why 150m of hedgerows has been cut down it's not even close to the HS2 route. Thew cut it downed put up a metal fence the hedgerow was a natural fence...

The Aviary now has a community garden with raised flower beds and herb's and vegetables and you can help yourself.

Lovely little lane to cut the busy corner off...

The Kenilworth to Berkswell Greenway is a linear Country Park set in the beautiful South Warwickshire countryside. The site forms a 6.5 kilometres section of former railway, with the entire park extending to some 16 hectares. History The railway branch line from Berkswell to Kenilworth Junction was opened in 1884. It effectively provided a short cut avoiding Coventry for freight trains heading south. Rumour has it that it was used in the war for the transport of munitions and the siding at Berkswell, left when the track was lifted in the 1960s, was used for ‘parking’ the Royal Train when the Queen visited the area. Later, even the siding was removed to make way for a station car park. Left to itself, the old railway became a wildlife corridor. Hawthorn, birch and other plants quickly took hold and softened the edges, animals and birds found cover for dens and nests. Warwickshire County Council took ownership of the route in the 1970′s but apart from work to clear a wider path, it was left to the walkers and the wildlife.  After the turn of the Millennium, Warwickshire County Council worked in partnership with Sustrans to develop the route.

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

Kenilworth Sandstone exposed in Kenilworth old railway cutting Warwickshire Museum. Situated at the eastern end of the Kenilworth Greenway, the cycle and pedestrian path that runs south-east of the new Coventry Road bridge passes through a disused railway cutting, excavated partly through the local natural bedrock. This can seen in the banks adjacent to the path and consists of thick beds of red sandstone. This is the so-called Kenilworth Sandstone, dating back roughly 280 million years to the Permian Period. The sandstone originated as river sand, deposited on river floodplains at a time when what is now Warwickshire was much closer to the equator, and enjoyed a hot, semi-arid climate. The Kenilworth Sandstone was once quarried locally for building stone, and can be seen in many of the older buildings in and around the town. Kenilworth Castle is undoubtedly the best known example.

Now a Local Nature Reserve, Kenilworth Common has a long history traced back to its creation in 1756. Back then it offered rough grazing land and was covered with heathland and acidic grassland. There were no more grazing cattle after the 1800's and oak and birch trees moved in, creating the woodland we enjoy today. What's it like to visit? Finham Brook babbles along the southern edge of the reserve. The brook provides a rich fishing ground for the spectacular kingfisher, and a population of brown trout lurk in its shady waters. Split by the Coventry to Leamington Spa railway, the reserve still has remnants of heathland, which is now a rare habitat in Warwickshire. There's bracken and wavy hair-grass with broom and heath bedstraw all further reminders of a habitat once common locally. Gorse and heather grow outside the reserve on undisturbed slopes where slow-worm and common lizard have been observed. This reserve brings a delight with every season. Spring flowers colour the woodland floor and summer welcomes fairytale glow-worms. In autumn a range of fungi appear including amethyst deceiver, ugly milkcap and fly agaric, whilst a crisp winter visit provides clear viewing of colourful finches, tits and jays.

Muddy walk to see the source of the river.

Great views and an off road section

Memorial Park is a nice quiet place to sit and have lunch at the tea rooms...

You can carry on and go past the golf course and end up in town, to turn left down to Canley Ford...
