Old Arley with church tower
So named to distinguish it from the neighbouring mining village of New Arley, Old Arley predates the modern coal industry by centuries. St Wilfrid's church was built in the 14th century and was restored in 1873; see the listing at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1034773?section=official-list-entry .

South Eastern gate to Arley Wood, with snail bench
The bench was installed on the route of an Arley parish walk, an offshoot of a longer North Warwickshire Heritage Trail. It carries a couplet from the poem 'Leisure', by the Welsh poet and tramp W H Davies. The whole poem can be seen at his Wikipedia entry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._H._Davies ; for the footpaths, see the North Warwickshire council site https://www.northwarks.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/8388/arley_parish_walk.pdf .

Path through Arley Wood
The ancient Arley Wood was turned into a conifer plantation in the 1960s, with a great loss of wildlife; note the ranks of trees of a single species and the dense undergrowth of bracken. It is now slowly being replanted with native broadleaved species such as oak. See Image] and Image
Though the loss is greatly to be regretted, it remains a peaceful place, beautiful in its way, the rustling of the trees blotting out human noise, apart from the occasional passing of aircraft overhead or the hooting of a train on the nearby railway.
