This is the downward slope of the road from Gibbet Hill towards the Finham Brook, leading out of Coventry towards Kenilworth. The Kenilworth Road is straight and lined with spinneys planted in the 18th century; the land was bought by the city council in 1926 and is now a conservation area; see Image This is one of very few roads in the Coventry and Warwickshire area highlighted in green on the French Michelin map, indicating a scenic route. It does indeed have a rather formal, French kind of beauty, with long straight vistas lined with trees.
