Caludon Castle
Park - January 2002
| Caludon Castle
Park is one of Coventry's Formal Parks, (also known as Caludon Hall
Park?).
It is a pleasant stretch of open grassland, with a Children's
Playground.
The main feature is an imposing ruin of part of the castle, surrounded on three sides by a moat.
At the southern end is a separate little flat meadow surrounded by
the remains of another moat - was this the
site of Caludon Farmhouse?
For a short but informative history of Caludon Castle,
see:
 Coventry Evening Telegraph 16-Mar-2002 article by David McGrory.

Good for Dogs rating: 
A good sized open space, with areas of interest to
explore, and well away from roads. Maybe should be rated 3 dogs, but
I didn't meet many when I visited (maybe it was too cold and snowy, but I
met many dogs at Floyds Fields when the snow was a lot deeper)?
