Corley Ash

Into the woods by Red Hill Farm The footpath, which is part of the Coventry Way, enters the wood through this arch of foliage. There is a small bench to the right, offering a view across a meadow. The wood appears to be of recent origin; it is not marked on OS maps as late as the 1950s.

Fishpond, Square Lane, Corley Ash This rectangular fishpond with a small island in the middle is surrounded by trees. The land is marked as private, but the pond is passed on one side by a public footpath which is part of the Coventry Way. The Breach Brook flows along the other side but not through the pond itself, which seems to be of recent date, as it is not marked on OS maps as late as the 1950s-60s.

A crescent of semis, Sandy Lane, Fillongley It looks odd on the map and even odder when you visit: a suburban crescent of semi-detached houses, complete with green, built on a country lane, far from any town or its suburbs. The plain style of the semis suggests they were built as council housing. The western part of the green, to the left of this photo, has been enclosed to form some rather messy gardens. Fillongley is a parish of scattered settlements, typical of the 'ancient countryside' of Arden; Sandy Lane runs between the settlement grouped around Fillongley parish church and the hamlet of Wood End, to the east.

Wood End Lane, many a slipped wheel between road and garden. Wood End Lane joins Arley with the rest of civilisation but becomes a death trap with the smallest sprinkling of ice. 3 years ago my Rover 216 went for a trip into the garden on the right...later joined by 2 other cars on the same day. The council however do not deem this road important enough to grit?! The building on the left has been for sale since I moved to Arley 5 years ago! Good Luck!

Fillongley village and The Manor House A view into Fillongley village. Fillongley is the site of 3 castles, unfortunately you need a map and luck to find the lumps in the grass that are all that's left. Fillongley used to host moto-cross events in which, unless I'm very much mistaken, the great Murray Walker used to race!!

The Lane at Wall Hill, near Corley This stretch of lane cuts through the corner of this square. Behind the photographer is a cottage and a line of pylons, and just beyond the car in the photograph the road forks to Brownshill Green and Hawkes End.
