The county town of Warwick is perhaps best known for its fine medieval castle and its ancient history of kings, battles and a heroic endeavours but there are other less spoken of tales, those that concern the towns natural heritage and the fauna and flora that have thrived alongside the townsfolk for generations.

Where Peacocks Pace is a new book that traces the natural history of Warwick from the earliest days of prehistory in the time of the dinosaurs up to the present day.  Six Chapters explore in depth key places in the town and explain how man and nature have shaped them. The book also includes sections on Where and how to see some of the species mentioned in the book and a list of species recorded in the town.

The areas covered in the book include Warwick Castle and its Grounds, Priory Park, Common Land, The River Avon and the Town Centre and its suburbs. Why did Warwick have a sand dune by the river? What was the Sea Monster displayed at the Racecourse? And What rare plant from the Holy Lands can be found in the town? All these questions and many other interesting facts about Warwick are answered in this book.
