Swift Valley Country Park adjacent to Old Brownsover is a 59 acre (24 hectare) site managed by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust on behalf of Rugby Borough Council, set to the north of Rugby's urban area.

The reserve includes lowland neutral grassland with pronounced ridge and furrow, hedgerows, woodland and wetland adjacent to River Swift and a disused canal.

A very dense bird population exists especially around the pools. Birds include lapwing, snipe and song thrush. Dragonflies and damselflies are abundant and in 2004 the small red-eyed damselfly was recorded here for the first time in Warwickshire. The first moth recording night produced over 60 species along with a healthy bat population.

Beautiful place. Only 4 stars as no toilets. Enclosed area to let dogs off if their recall isn't great. Picnic area. Woods, open fields, disused canal 1 side and wetland area the other with the park in the middle. Great to explore for kids. Xx

We walk here several times a week. Small but sufficient car park. Seperate dog field. Cows can be in any of 3 fields. Riverside too.

I wanted to update my post as my last post was done in the summer months I have been here several times and is one of my favourite places to visit such a beautiful place lots of nature in the summer months it's the most enjoyable walk but I find as a person who has walking problems I find it a struggle pushing my walker or when or when using my mobility scooter on the paths are uneven in quite a few places and in the winter months it's so muddy and unsafe for people with disabilities to go and enjoy this it would be greatly appreciated by all that uses this to have paths put in and more bins also more benches for people to sit down the other thing I think it greatly needs is toilets maybe people could purchase a key for a small price to use them

A lovely valley with paths along the rivers, big handy car park and well maintained. There are grand tall pine trees along the Swift river to marvel at!

As mentioned in the other hundred reviews, a perfect place to walk the dogs.
My dog thought it was pawsome running around and loved cow-watching 🐮🐾
