Over the last 30 years, in addition to building, there has been extensive tree planting and the creation of 8 lakes or ponds. A third of the area is farmed and, to reduce damage to wildlife, the University has entered into a Countryside Stewardship Scheme, which allows for replacing and improving hedgerows and creating ‘buffer strips’ along existing hedges and watercourses. Important: With the exception of the public rights of way, walks follow permissive paths (not for cycles) which the landowner reserves the right to close should the need arise. Please leave our walks as you would wish to find them. Observe the Countryside Code. Choose a walk

The campus of the University of Warwick covers 290 hectares and lies in the valley of Canley Brook draining red, heavy clay soils. It is an area of considerable historical interest with evidence of occupation since Neolithic times. Henry II gave part of this royal estate to Cistercian monks in 1155, and near Tocil Wood pottery was manufactured using local clay and charcoal. Following dissolution in 1535, the land was enclosed and assumed many of the features evident to this day. The campus covers four medieval farmsteads: Gibbet Hill, Tocil, Cryfield and Cryfield Grange Farms.
