Newbold Comyn Country Park

This extensive park, over 120 hectares (300 acres), was laid out in the 1970’s. Formerly Newbold Comyn Farm, it was acquired by Leamington Corporation in 1943. The northern half is an 18-hole pay-and-play golf course; the southern half provides for recreation, sport and wildlife. The old farmhouse is now a pub, the Newbold Comyn Arms. Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre has a 25 metre swimming pool, children’s fun pool, Pyramids fitness suite and other facilities.

Welches Meadow and the Leam Valley Local Nature Reserves are situated in Newbold Comyn Country Park.

Welches Meadow is a traditional flood meadow to the south of the River Leam. River water covers the land for parts of the year enriching the soil and providing ideal conditions for beetles and other insects.

Woodland, grassland, marsh, ponds and the River Leam itself make up Leam Valley LNR. This area has an agricultural past with more recent woodland planting and pond creation.Walks and rides
