Surface water holding lagoon, Warwick Gates estate
There are four such lagoons, one at each corner of the estate. They appear too deep, as though the engineers have overdone the safety factors. Still, better safe than sorry.

Harbury Lane by Warwick Gates estate
Seen from the corner of Cicero Approach. The identity of this area is in flux. The gazetteer says 'near to Whitnash', which is true, but this corner of Warwick Gates is in the parish of Bishop's Tachbrook, the village to the south. The name Warwick Gates creates an association with Warwick's heritage but the whole estate feels like a further extension of south Leamington. Politically, though, most of the estate is in the Warwick South ward.

Caliban Mews, Warwick Gates estate
Almost all the streets on the Warwick Gates estate are named after characters from Shakespeare's plays. Greater familiarity with the Bard's creations might have signalled caution: but, no, we have Timon View, Macbeth Approach, Toby Belch Drive, Cressida Close and - Caliban Mews.
"The isle is full of noises" that do not delight: 4-wheel drives, motorised scooters, light aircraft, lawnmowers, ice-cream vans, drumkits…
