The Midland Spinner
This old hotel is one of many that appeared to cater for the growing railway network of the nineteenth century. It was formerly known as the Midland Railway Hotel (and the pub was the Crown, after the Crown Colliery nearby); however, in 1972 it was ordered under the Trades Description Act to change its name. The new name of Midland Spinner was chosen and recalls an old type of steam locomotive.

Venture out after dark!
The paths through Warmley Forest Park are a fairly recent creation as this was a former clayworks and then landfill site. Nevertheless, the wildlife has taken to it with enthusiasm and it is now home to bats. This path marker actually glows in the dark and provides a means for people to go out in search of the nocturnal mammals. Indeed, the local library can supply information to use on the walks as well as a bat detector!

Warmley Forest Park
The area around the village was once awash with coal and ore mining, clay extraction, pipe works and the railways. The heavy industry declined in the twentieth century and was closed by the 1960s. The empty pits and pans were used for landfill, which also ended and the land capped over. New trees were introduced to provide a natural place for relaxation. The forest park offers many varied walks or orienteering runs.

Dramway path
The old colliery area to the north and east of early Bristol produced many tons of coal. Transporting the goods to a more connected site nearer the River Avon necessitated the creation of a small gauge railway - the Dramway. Originally powered by horse and later by engines, it has now become a popular footpath. North Common is a mile or so to the south.

Warmley, South Gloucestershire, St Barnabas Parish Church
Built 1849-50, this church is really only photogenic in the winter as the large number of mature trees in the churchyard hide much of it from view when in leaf!

The spire of Warmley
St Barnabas church was founded in 1849 on land once owned by the Tilley family. It opened for worship in 1851 as St Barnabas but was locally called Tilley's church.
