Welcome to Warwickshire County Council

Information Centres
Make the Information Centre at Ryton Pools, Hartshill Hayes, Pooley and Kingsbury Water Park your first port of call and you can get friendly advice and information to enable you to enjoy your day out in the country park to the full. We stock information leaflets on all the activities taking place in the parks, as well as maps to help you find your way around. Our popular Events leaflet can be picked up here and we can take your booking for any of the superb events on offer throughout the year. Or perhaps you would like to book a child’s birthday party or a school trip, buy an annual parking permit or angling permit – all available through the Information Centre. We offer a complete range of walking and cycling maps and books covering all of Warwickshire to tempt you out into the surrounding countryside and enjoy the beauty and diversity of this great county. With titles like “Walks to Tea Shops & Taverns in Warwickshire” or “Adventurous Pub Walks in Warwickshire” or even “Kiddiwalks” everyone is catered for! Our Gift Shops stock a wonderful selection of countryside related gifts, toys, souvenirs and books at very reasonable prices. There really is something for everyone so make time for a good browse around. We are continuing to expand our range of sustainable or locally sourced items, particularly from local crafts people. One range we are very proud of is our pens, bowls, key rings and walking sticks made by a local wood turner from wood from our own parks. If you don’t see exactly what you want, he can usually make an item to order for you. Look out for our Grand Spring Sale starting February half term. Bring the children to the Park and grab a great bargain too!
