Ansley Allotments
There are three areas of allotments in the Parish. Two in Ansley Common and one in Ansley Village. All of these grounds are owned by the Borough Council and let out to the allotment societies. We were asked for allotments in Birchley Heath and Merevale Estates offered a small piece of ground off the park which was used for allotments before. No one contacted us to accept this, but if anyone changes their mind please contact the clerk.

Ansley Parish
Pathways Group
The group maintains the public pathways around Ansley Parish so residents can access the beautiful walks on our doorstep, all year round. Our mission is to get as many people as possible to use the pathways, bringing people closer to nature and helping physical and mental well-being.
There are six active members of the pathways group, and we’ve been running for over three years. We meet weekly on a Wednesday afternoon and contribute our time on a voluntary basis. We keep the rights of way accessible all year round, making sure they are clearly signposted and visible. Typically, this involves weeding and cutting back vegetation during the growing season, reinstating way markers and replacing wear and tear on signage.
Our work to maintain the pathways in Ansley Parish is covered by Warwickshire County Council public liability insurance and we liaise regularly with the Rights of Way Team to provide updates. The Rights of Way Team take accountability for any major infrastructure work needed on the local pathways, such as mending bridges.
Walking is a great way to exercise and it’s free. When you combine that with walking in the natural environment, enjoying the sights and sounds of the countryside, the benefits are far reaching. We are fortunate to have country walks in our parish and the pathways group want to help those living here to benefit from knowing what’s available.
We’ve created a dedicated website with more information about the walks around Ansley Parish, including historical points of interest, the flora and the wildlife you might encounter.
If you’d like to get involved with the Pathways Group activities, contact Nik on 07872 639445.
