Into the woods by Red Hill Farm

The footpath, which is part of the Coventry Way, enters the wood through this arch of foliage. There is a small bench to the right, offering a view across a meadow. The wood appears to be of recent origin; it is not marked on OS maps as late as the 1950s.

The photo is taken from a footpath, part of the Coventry Way, that runs from Coventry Road at Red Hill to Square Lane by the fishpond. The path continues through the maize.

Part of the Coventry Way, this is a well-beaten path through a crop of maize.

Fishpond, Square Lane, Corley Ash

This rectangular fishpond with a small island in the middle is surrounded by trees. The land is marked as private, but the pond is passed on one side by a public footpath which is part of the Coventry Way. The Breach Brook flows along the other side but not through the pond itself, which seems to be of recent date, as it is not marked on OS maps as late as the 1950s-60s.

The Lane at Wall Hill, near Corley

This stretch of lane cuts through the corner of this square. Behind the photographer is a cottage and a line of pylons, and just beyond the car in the photograph the road forks to Brownshill Green and Hawkes End.
