Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret.
