Once a heath used for grazing farm animals, the common was colonised by birch and oak trees once grazing stopped, and is now a wood with a few remnants of heathland. The land slopes down to the Finham Brook and is crossed by the Coventry to Leamington railway. The common is now a local nature reserve: see the website of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust here https://www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/KenilworthCommon .
