Should have gone anticlockwise so as to get the streets out of the way first. The detour around HS2 site was a pain as not clearly sign posted. Apart from that a good walk.

Encompassing a stretch of 3 kilometers along the northern bank of the River Leam, this nature reserve features a diverse range of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, marshes, and ponds. The ecological significance of this area lies in its capacity to support various bird species, butterflies, dragonflies, and a vibrant array of wildflowers. Apart from this, the reserve also has amenities such as a skateboard park, an adventure playground, and a dedicated area for children's play. These facilities have been strategically situated at a distance to ensure minimal disruption to the local wildlife.

These sculptures were created to remind visitors of the rich geological history of the Ryton Pools where pieces of neck, tooth and tusk of the straight-tusked elephant were found in the local sand quarries. These massive creatures roamed this area half a million years ago and the life size sculptures bring to life the ancient history of the park.

Funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund the Dunsmore Living Landscape scheme aims to restore the most significant area of ancient woodland in Warwickshire, increase landscape connectivity through the restoration of hedgerows, grasslands, ponds and heritage sites and engage local communities in a programme of natural  and heritage-related activities. These metal sculptures were created and installed to help bring to life the geological history of the Dunsmore Living Landscape Scheme area at Ryton Pools, where pieces of neck bone, tooth and tusk of the Straight-tusked elephant Palaeoloxodon antiquus, were all found in the local sand quarries. The sculptures were a collaboration between Spencer Jenkins, a green wood and metalwork artist (designer, and project manager), and Artfabs Ltd, a specialist fabrication contractor who will assist with larger construction challenges. These creatures would have roamed the area around half a million years ago. The life size sculptures will bring to life the ancient history of the park and reflect important palaeontological finds made on the site during quarrying.

Although part of Ryton Wood was lost to sand and gravel extraction in the 1960s, the wood has been returned to its present excellence though traditional management practices, and is one of the county's largest surviving semi-natural ancient woodlands.   Arguably the best of the Princethorpe Woods, Ryton Wood covers 85 hectares, has been designated as an SSSI and boasts an extensive list of notable species.   Parts of Ryton Wood date back to the 11th century, so the land may have been wooded since the end of last ice age. Finding coppiced, small-leaved lime stools is evidence to support this. Once the most common tree 5,000 years ago, the species is no longer so common. Huge ditches also indicate the wood’s ancient, medieval boundaries.   Forty or so species of tree and shrub have been identified, with oak the dominant tree. An abundance of honeysuckle, our county flower, scrambles through the lower-growing hazel - enjoy its sweet perfume on summer days.

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.

Leam Valley Nature Reserve is a haven for wildlife next to the River Leam. Keep a look out for kingfishers, otters, grass snakes, dragonflies and damselflies as you explore. The reserve also boasts many species of wildflowers, including river marsh-marigold, yellow iris and purple-loosestrife flower.

Stoneleigh Meadows is a tranquil riverside meadow with a community orchard. There is a historic church, St Mary’s, within the meadow, too. The River Sowe flows through the pretty public space, which hosts a variety of events through the year.

Stoneleigh Meadows was privately purchased in 1982 and established as a Regional Charity providing recreational space for Stoneleigh Village and visitors to the village. Meadows Society Stoneleigh Meadows comprise 12 acres of river meadowland between the River Sowe and Vicarage Road and provide a public open space for villagers and visitors to the village. It was in 1981 that the Stoneleigh Estate announced that they wished to sell this piece of land and, to avoid any possibility of it being purchased for development, it was to be offered in ‘pony-paddock’ sized lots. A local resident, the late Phil Mead, with a number of near neighbours, realised that multiple ownership of this land would prevent public access and they set about raising funds to purchase the whole plot and retain it as a public open space. Funds were raised from various charities and supplemented by individual donations. A Company limited by guarantee was incorporated as a non-profit making entity having charitable objects which was registered as a charity (number 5122760) following which the land was purchased in 1982. The charity is administered by a board of directors, its annual accounts are filed at the Companies Registry and it makes a return required by the Charities Acts to the Charity Commission each year. The specific objects of the charity include ‘the promotion of the permanent preservation for the benefit of the public generally and especially the inhabitants of the Parish of Stoneleigh in the County of Warwickshire of the land known as Stoneleigh Meadows and other lands and buildings of beauty or historic interest.’ The Meadows now provide a wonderful amenity for the village enjoyed by many walkers, whilst the land is regularly used for village events such as the duck race, bonfire night, car-parking for weddings and funerals and occasional grazing for animals and for which these users make donations. At the present time, donations are just about sufficient to cover costs of maintenance (mowing, fence repairs and insurance). Occasionally, it is necessary to seek donations from the village at large, and this was done several years ago to support a tree planting programme. In December 2011 a new element in the Stoneleigh Meadows has been the planting of a Village Orchard. The enthusiastic members of the Orchard Project Team will also feature wild flowers in the orchard. The present Meadows Society Directors are: Mike Baker (chairman), David Vaughan, Mike Murray, Peter Whitehouse, Martin Cooper and Robin Bussell (secretary/ treasurer).

You don't ride through it but the kids enjoy splashing around...

The trail meanders through the site starting at the entrance opposite the far end of Jephson Gardens - follow the wooden markers! While you're here try spotting the numerous fish in the River Leam where roach, perch and common bream lurk in the depths. A magnificent range of dragonflies and damselflies flit along its banks including banded demoiselle, darters, chasers, hawkers and the emperor dragonfly. Kingfishers can be spotted here and are known to breed along the river. The elusive grass snake may be seen as it swims amongst arrowhead, yellow water-lilies and flowering-rush. At the edge of the river marsh-marigold, yellow iris and purple-loosestrife flower alongside rushes, sweet-grass and common reed. It is hoped that one day soon, this ideal habitat will welcome the arrival of otter as it gradually re-colonises the county. The rich marsh is dense with many marsh-loving plants, including cuckoo flower, ragged-robin and even the rare snakes-head fritillary. Over the largest area of grassland, cowslips are charmingly scattered amongst the many species of grasses. An abundance of butterflies are attracted including brimstone, peacock, comma and red admiral, with plenty of browns, whites and skippers.

The Jephson Memorial, a white marble statue of Dr Jephson erected in the Imperial period. It is situated in Jephson Gardens, south west of the clock tower. White marble statue of Dr Jephson, by Peter Hollins of Birmingham, which was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1848. Statue contained in a circular, stone, domed Pavilion with Corinthian order and eight attached columns.

The Glasshouse, in Jephson Gardens, opened in 2003. It was built on the site of a redundant nursery as part of the Heritage Lottery funded restoration of Jephson Gardens. The Glasshouse houses a range of beautiful tropical and temperate plants including banana, pink powder puff and bird of paradise.
