park called Priory Pools. Because there are many burrows around the park European rabbits are a common sight, even to the casual observer. The total public area of the main park currently stands at 28.7 acres. Famous artists have visited the park; Canaletto in the 1740s and in 1809 John Constable made a sketch. A painting by a Pre-Raphaelite artist John Brett was auctioned in 2018. A free leaflet has been published which is both a nature and history walk around the Park and Priory Pools. Available at Warwick Tourist Information Centre, Jury Street, Warwick (with effect from February 2016) and also online.
