Quarry Hill, located in Warwickshire, England, is a prominent hill that forms part of the scenic landscape of the area. Situated approximately 6 miles northwest of the town of Warwick, it is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Rising to an elevation of around 216 meters (709 feet), Quarry Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes, covered in lush greenery and dotted with various species of trees, including oak, beech, and ash. These trees provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, making Quarry Hill an excellent spot for birdwatching and nature photography.

The name "Quarry Hill" is derived from the historical quarrying activities that took place in the area. In the past, the hill was mined for its rich limestone deposits, which were extensively used in the construction of buildings in Warwickshire and beyond.

Today, Quarry Hill attracts visitors who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and picnicking. Several well-maintained footpaths and trails crisscross the hill, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The hill's summit is easily accessible and offers a perfect vantage point to admire the stunning vistas of the Warwickshire countryside.

Quarry Hill, with its picturesque scenery and tranquil atmosphere, provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a moment of serenity in Warwickshire.

Whateley Lane Shafts of sunlight streak through the morning mist along Whateley Lane. This lane links Hockley with the hamlet of Whateley, at first it is named Hockley Road, but after a couple of hundred yards (and a bend) it changes its name. This lane has quite steep sloping banks and there used to be a number of large trees with huge root systems that leaned worryingly across the lane in a rather magical way. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) these trees have been chopped down - but their fantastical roots still remain in places - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1073649">SP2299 : How are the mighty fallen !</a> & <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1073650">SP2299 : Convoluted roots</a>
