🕰️ From Working Mill to Urban Oasis
Nestled just off Coundon Road, Naul’s Mill Park occupies land once powered by a medieval watermill. The site’s history stretches back to the 12th century, when the River Sherbourne ran through the mill pond.
By the early 1900s, the area was transformed into a public park — offering city residents a place to walk, relax and enjoy nature. Though the buildings and industry have faded, the tranquil mill pond remains as a link to Coventry’s working past.
🌳 Nature, Play & Relaxation for Everyone
Naul’s Mill Park is the perfect blend of heritage and nature.
- The Mill Pond: The centrepiece of the park, home to ducks and surrounded by benches and shaded paths.
- Play Area: Modern playground with swings, slides and climbing frames — great for families and children.
- Sports Pitches: Two fenced-in areas with football goals and basketball nets for older children and teens.
- Woodland Trails: Tree-lined paths and grassy lawns ideal for walking, jogging or picnicking.
