Warwickshire presents a pleasant undulating surface of hill and dale, watered by the Avon, Leam, and Tame. The climate is mild and healthy, and the soil, except some cold stiff clays on the higher grounds, is fertile. It consists chiefly of a strong red loam adapted for wheat and beans, or a sandy loam for barley and turnips.
Much land is kept in permanent pasture for grazing.
Geologically it mainly belongs to the secondary formation. The principal minerals are coal, ironstone, limestone, freestone, blue flagstone, and fire-clay.
