Lodge Pool is a picturesque freshwater body located in Warwickshire, England. Spanning an area of approximately 10 acres, the pool is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a tranquil retreat for nature enthusiasts.

The pool itself is a natural water feature, formed through a combination of natural springs and a small stream that flows into it. It boasts crystal-clear water, which is sourced from underground springs and remains cool even during the hot summer months.

The pool is home to a diverse range of aquatic flora and fauna, making it an important habitat for various species. The water is teeming with fish, including perch, pike, and roach, providing ample opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. The presence of these fish also attracts a variety of bird species, such as herons and kingfishers, who come to the pool to feed.

Surrounding the pool, there is a beautiful marshland area that is rich in wetland plants and serves as a breeding ground for several amphibians and insects. This freshwater marsh is an essential habitat for many species that rely on the unique ecological conditions it offers.

Lodge Pool is a popular destination for nature lovers, offering opportunities for bird-watching, fishing, and peaceful walks along its banks. The tranquil atmosphere and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape make it a perfect spot for relaxation and wildlife observation.

A45 Intermediate Silos This construction comprises a set of 4 powder storage silos, with 2 load-out bays beneath them. Two were erected in March 2023 by Balfour Beatty Vinci (BBV) the main construction contractor on this part of the HS2 site, and the other two by Tarmac who will keep them stocked with material for the HS2 works. Initially they will store quicklime powder from plants in the Peak District, which will be used for ground stabilisation purposes around this part of the HS2 site, but may also hold some hydrated lime powder when that's needed. Their combined total capacity is nearly 2500 tonnes.
