On a run from Pinley to Walsgrave, crossing Willenhall Wood and A46. This area of open land seems to suffer from its use with cars or motorbikes.

Willenhall
View looking south east across Brandon Grounds from the Coventry Eastern bypass as it crosses the square. The chimneys in the distance belong to the car plant beside the A45 at Ryton on Dunsmore.

Clearing with bluebells, Willenhall Wood
Modern Coventry is built over part of Arden, the northwestern half of Warwickshire, characterised by ancient countryside with extensive woodland, ancient hedges, scattered hamlets and winding lanes with hollow ways. It was never a 'Forest of Arden', and much of the woodland had been cleared by the 13th century (see Oliver Rackham, The New Naturalist Library: Woodlands, Collins, 2006). But many woods survive, and we are fortunate that some were incorporated in to the suburbs of Coventry when the city expanded rapidly after the second world war. Willenhall Wood is one example.
