Kites Hardwick

Kites Hardwick (also known as Kytes Hardwick) is a hamlet between Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, close to Draycote Water and bisected by the River Leam. It has an agricultural heritage with a number of farms, with some farmhouses dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Recently some of the farm land has been dedicated to a golf driving range.

In medieval times Kites Hardwick was a village, but it was depopulated by the Black Death in the 15th Century and has never recovered to village status since then. The Battle of Britain history pages reference a bomb attack on a factory built at Kites Hardwick, purpose unknown, on 23rd August 1999.
