Arley industrial estate and Arley Wood

The industrial units are viewed from the path from Spring Hill to Daffern's Wood; they occupy the site of Arley Colliery, which closed in 1968. Arley Wood blankets the horizon. This ancient woodland was replanted with conifers in the 1960s, apparently to provide pit props for the mine; see SP2891 : A young oak tree among the conifers, Arley Wood.

Daffern's Wood, New Arley

Situated on the western edge of New Arley, Daffern's Wood is roughly triangular in shape and about three hectares in extent. According to the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust it is an ancient semi-natural wood which has been documented back to around 1600. It is a Local Nature Reserve. Link

. A public footpath passes below the wood, which can be entered from the stile visible at the left of the picture.

Lost in a muddy field, Wood End

Well, I knew where I was on the map, but had lost the footpath. North Warwickshire has some good walking country, but signposting is often poor. The path had crossed a ditch and a field boundary without warning.

Field path, Wood End

At last, a signpost, though the sign itself was broken and faded.

E D Thompson, Wood End Lane

A former village store awaits a new use - probably housing, like the converted chapel nearby.

A crescent of semis, Sandy Lane, Fillongley

It looks odd on the map and even odder when you visit: a suburban crescent of semi-detached houses, complete with green, built on a country lane, far from any town or its suburbs. The plain style of the semis suggests they were built as council housing. The western part of the green, to the left of this photo, has been enclosed to form some rather messy gardens. Fillongley is a parish of scattered settlements, typical of the 'ancient countryside' of Arden; Sandy Lane runs between the settlement grouped around Fillongley parish church and the hamlet of Wood End, to the east.

Former telephone box, Sandy Lane, Fillongley

Though still marked as a rural telephone box by the Ordnance Survey, it now houses a defibrillator and a book swap.

Old bangers at Arley's best garage!

This wonderful workshop restores vintage cars and vans.

Wood End Lane, many a slipped wheel between road and garden.

Wood End Lane joins Arley with the rest of civilisation but becomes a death trap with the smallest sprinkling of ice. 3 years ago my Rover 216 went for a trip into the garden on the right...later joined by 2 other cars on the same day. The council however do not deem this road important enough to grit?! The building on the left has been for sale since I moved to Arley 5 years ago! Good Luck!

Glebe Farm and pheasants

Tippers Hill Lane, land of the rich

One of the more affordable houses on Tippers Hill Lane just outside of Arley. The story is of the man who brought Daweoo into the UK has a house here and he gave a young lad a house nearby as a present for doing odd jobs for him for years.

Fillongley village and The Manor House

A view into Fillongley village. Fillongley is the site of 3 castles, unfortunately you need a map and luck to find the lumps in the grass that are all that's left. Fillongley used to host moto-cross events in which, unless I'm very much mistaken, the great Murray Walker used to race!!
