Tile Hill Wood

[5] From 1930, Coventry Corporation established the wood as a Nature Reserve and it had a regular forester assigned to it.

During the Second World War, large areas of scrub and conifers were cleared to reduce the risk of fire from air-raids.

These were replaced with young trees over several years, and helped to alter the ecological balance of the reserve.

The ground cover includes bramble and bracken, with wavy hair-grass, creeping soft-grass, honeysuckle, and great wood-rush.

A pools near the north edge supports bog mosses, marsh cinquefoil, and cyperus sedge.
