WARWICKSHIRE'S LEAFY LANES The purpose of this page is not to illustrate every lane in Warwickshire, but rather to show some typical examples of types of leafy lanes, tracks, and hedgerows. This is a lane between Claverdon and Langley.

Hampton in Arden is a small village on a hill, and originally lying within the Forest of Arden, which covered the North and West of Warwickshire. Most of the forest was cleared in Medieval times. This picture was taken in Shadowbrook Lane, Hampton in Arden.

A leafy cross roads, at the junction of Fernhill Lane and Long Brook Lane, near Balsall Common.

Another lane near Balsall Common. This picture shows the large number of different species of wild flowers along the hedgeside.

A closer view showing the rich texture of hedgeside wild flowers. Flowers of a large number of different species all grow through each other. In the couple of feet of hedgeside covered by this photo there are buttercups, nettles, cow parsley, red campion, dandelions, and several others I don't know.

This picture and the picture below show the Kenilworth-Berkswell Greenway, formerly the Kenilworth to Berkswell railway line, but now disused and a recreational pathway.

A field gate, in a hedgerow, into a field of buttercups, and a well established mixed hedge on the far side of the field.
