Alne Hills, located in Warwickshire, England, is a range of hills that spans across the northwestern part of the county. This range is characterized by its rolling landscape, with gentle slopes and picturesque views. The hills are primarily composed of limestone, which gives them a distinct pale color and provides a fertile ground for vegetation to flourish.

The highest point in the Alne Hills reaches an elevation of approximately 200 meters, making it a relatively low-lying range compared to other mountainous regions. Despite its modest height, the hills offer breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. The area is dotted with small villages and farmland, adding to its rural charm.

These archaeological sites provide insights into the area's past and offer visitors a glimpse into the lives of those who once inhabited this land.

The Huff Cap, Great Alne Sometimes called the Mother Huff Cap, this oddly-named inn, with its rambling extensions which seem to have engulfed a private house, now stands on a bend on the secondary road between Wootton Wawen and Alcester but was once an important staging post on the coach road from London to Shrewsbury.  The Victoria County History tells us that "the first record of this curious name occurs in the accounts of 1746 ... where it is given simply as 'Huff Cap' (a term for strong ale)."  The pub closed for a time in 2010; a proposal to rename it as "The Greedy Pig" was abandoned to the relief of many villagers and since then it has reopened with the signage mostly reverting to the original 18th-century version.
