Kingsbury Meadow Local Nature Reserve
Highlight • River
Explore the different habitats here from marshy and wet grassland and swamp to woodland and an important sedge bed of waist-high reeds. It's best to stick to the path and you will be surrounded by the wildflowers and grasses.
The brook runs through the middle of the reserve with a footbridge at one end and stepping stones at the other. After heavy rain the stepping stones may be submerged but in drier spells you can do a circular walk round the reserve. There are three live willow structures to admire and two signs showing you a map of the site and the species you might see here.
It's an old flood meadow and while it doesn't flood anymore it can get boggy so remember to wear appropriate footwear.

Kingsbury Water Park
Highlight • Trail
The lakes are old gravel pits and therefore depths can vary, with the possibility of hidden obstructions under the water.
The water in the lakes is natural and untreated, and could contain Weil's disease (a bacterial infection also known as Leptospirosis that is carried by animals, most commonly in rats and cattle) as a result. It can be caught by humans through contact with rat or cattle urine, potentially through water transfer although the risks are low.

Tame Valley Wetlands Community Wetland
Highlight • Natural Monument
It was led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and Warwickshire County Council, working together in partnership as part of a series of landscape improvement projects being delivered through the Heritage Lottery Funded Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership Scheme.
The 6 hectare wetland has been transformed from disused waterlogged football pitches and restored to its original function as the floodplain of the River Tame. It now consists of new water channels, scrapes, ditches and reedbed, helping to restore floodplain connectivity.

Church of St Peter and St Paul, Kingsbury
Highlight • Religious Site
The church was built around the year 1200, when the church was built and until the 19th century the village was just a small hamlet, it was surrounded by land once owned by Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel.
The stones of the church porch show evidence of arrow-sharpening grooves, sometimes said to have been done by soldiers but more probably by hunting parties or locals waiting their turn for the nearby village butts, as all males had to be proficient with a longbow.
The churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Engineers soldier of World War II.
