The Parish of Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe

The Parish sits to the north of Warwick and south of Kenilworth with the old main road between the two forming a spine through the centre of the parish. Half way along this road lies the village of Leek Wootton with the Parish Church of All Saints, and the school to the south.

The Anchor Inn pub stands in the centre of the village and a short distance away to the north is Leek Wootton War Memorial Recreation Ground, where the village hall and sports club stand.

Other hamlets within the Parish are: Wootton Grange to the north; Hill Wootton and Chesford Bridge to the east; Guy's Cliffe and Woodloes Farms to the south; and Goodrest and Woodcote to the west.

In all, this Parish of some 1089 hectares is home for approximately 1029 souls. It is also home for a number of businesses, including: The Chesford Grange Hotel at Chesford Bridge; The Warwickshire, a golf club built on land formerly made up Middle Woodloes Farm and Wootton Court; the Warwickshire Police Headquarters at Woodcote; Broad Lane Caravans; The Saxon Mill and Harvester Restaurant at Guy's Cliffe; and the Anchor Inn Public House.

The Parish's attractions lie very much in its rural surroundings and largely unspoilt landscapes, with open pasture and woodland, combined with its accessibility to many local towns and cities and their attractions as well as others more far afield via the national motorway network.
