Pig Wood
Pig Wood is a picturesque forest located in Warwickshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. The wood is characterized by its dense canopy of ancient oak trees, which provide shelter and habitat for a diverse range of wildlife.
The forest floor of Pig Wood is carpeted with a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a rich and fertile soil. This environment supports a wide variety of plant species, including bluebells, wood anemones, and wild garlic, which create a beautiful display of colors during the spring months. The wood is also home to several species of fungi, such as the fly agaric and the wood ear fungus.
Birdwatchers will delight in the numerous avian species that call Pig Wood their home. Visitors may spot woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls, among others. The wood is also frequented by small mammals, including badgers, foxes, and squirrels, which can often be observed scurrying through the undergrowth.
Pig Wood offers several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. These trails wind through the forest, offering glimpses of scenic vistas and tranquil glades. The wood is also a popular spot for picnics and nature photography.
With its peaceful ambiance and abundance of flora and fauna, Pig Wood is a true gem in the heart of Warwickshire. Whether one seeks a leisurely stroll through nature or a chance to immerse themselves in the wilderness, this idyllic forest offers an unforgettable experience for all who visit.

Farmland near Allesley Green
Looking South from the footpath by the golf course. This crop was planted in the Autumn. I believe it is wheat - we shall see.
Farmland west of Allesley Green
Arable land, new crop just showing. The building on the skyline (centre) is the top of the ex-Massey Ferguson tower block.
Allesley Green from Park Hill Lane
A 1980s housing estate. Just visible on the skyline is the woodland north of Meriden.
Houses at the junction of Beaumaris Close and Parkhill Drive
I believe this part of the estate was built in the 1980's by Bryant Homes.
Poachers Retreat Hockley Lane
The pub has been closed and in January 2011 the council discussed an application from James O'Flanagan Ltd to build six houses on this site. They did not have any objection.
Poachers Retreat Hockley Lane
This pub closed early in 2011 or late 2010. see SP2780 : Poachers Retreat Hockley Lane
Upper Eastern Green Lane
These semi detached houses are right on the fringes of Coventry and their gardens back onto open countryside.
Greek Orthodox Church, Westwood Heath Road, Coventry
The flags of Cyprus, the United Kingdom and Greece can be seen flying outside the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration. The church was open to the public on a Heritage Open Day. Tours of the church building were taking place and, in St. George's Hall, the red brick building visible to the right behind the church, could be seen a display on the history of the church and the Greek Cypriot community and another on the history of the Westwood Heath area by the Westwood Heath History Group. For the website of the church see here Link
, for the website of the history group see here Link .
According to the church display, the first Cypriot migrants arrived in Coventry in the 1930s. At that time Cyprus was a colony of the British Empire. Increasing migration in the 1950s and 1960s led to the establishment of a Greek-language supplementary school and a Greek Orthodox church, which worshipped in Church of England churches. In 1977 the community acquired a Victorian school building in Westwood Heath. This was consecrated as an Orthodox church in 1978. It has since been extended, while classrooms for the Greek school have been built along with St George's Hall as a community venue Link . The site overlooks the Warwickshire countryside beyond the city.
The church itself has the rectangular shape and rows of wooden pews of a western church building, but there is no mistaking the Orthodox character of the painted icons on the walls and on the iconostasis, the screen which divides the sanctuary with the altar from the main body of the church.
