    Ok but no parking nearby.. it is all controlled by the university.. not even an option to pay for parking.. not sure how the public can enjoy these outdoor spaces if it is impossible to get to them.

    It is such a beautiful place to go for a nice stroll. Would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys nature and wildlife. Would also recommend not to wear white shoes. I learnt this the hard way :(

    Mature woodland with oaks and many bluebells in the season. It is just off the path joining two sections of the University campus, so a number of other people, mostly students, are also here to enjoy the bluebells. It is deep enough to lose sight of the bike/footpath, but you can still hear the cars on the road behind the other side of the trees. A wonderful place to spend a little while.

    Not so big, however a solid area of woodlands participate for a Tocil Wood and Meadow and Gibbet Hill Woodlands. You should park your car on one of the Warwick University car parks to get access and take a walk. Good for a half an hour to hour walk, could be a problem with dogs, because usually many people walks on the paths and it's close to University. Nice nature area.

    Wow I really enjoyed my walk. The variety of fauna and flora and wildlife. So serene and beautiful especially with the bluebells. A carpet spreading wide.The trees , the lake, a brook and the space makes it special. Although there were lots of dogs on the path. The owners were considerate. We saw a goose with her young tucking them under her wings. I'd definitely recommend although parking is abit tricky. The shrubberies is close and good for parking. And it's free!!

    Very quiet. We saw a lot of nature and the campus of Warwick University. The bridge was being repaired so we had to go back and walk around, but it made the walk more adventurous.

    Lovely woodland discovered during lockdown. Sadly I think it may be different once the students on bikes are back and sharing the paths
