Centenary Way towards Kenilworth Viewed during a heatwave and the vegetation is showing some signs. It is entirely flat until you get to Kenilworth. A yellowhammer settled on the path just along this stretch but I wasn't quick enough with my camera.

Nine Acre Plantation, located in Warwickshire, England, is a picturesque woodland area spread across a nine-acre plot. Situated in the heart of the county, it is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. With a diverse range of trees, plants, and wildlife, this plantation offers visitors an immersive experience surrounded by nature.

The woodland is dominated by a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, birch, beech, and pine. These trees provide a canopy that shelters the forest floor and creates a unique ecosystem for various flora and fauna. Visitors can stroll along the well-maintained paths that wind through the plantation, offering scenic views and a chance to spot wildlife such as deer, squirrels, and a variety of bird species.

Nine Acre Plantation boasts a rich history, dating back several centuries. It was once part of a larger estate and served as a hunting ground for the local aristocracy. Today, remnants of this past can still be seen, with some sections of the woodland reflecting a more manicured landscape.

The plantation is open to the public year-round, allowing visitors to enjoy the changing seasons and experience the vibrant colors of spring blossoms, lush greenery in the summer, and the stunning autumn foliage. It also offers amenities such as picnic areas and benches, making it an ideal spot for families and nature enthusiasts to relax and unwind.
