Warden Hills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warden Hills is an area of Luton, which is named after the hills overlooking it. Formerly part of a village called Streatley, until the 1960s, Warden Hills has become one of the fastest-growing areas of Luton in the past 50 years.

Warden Hills lies on the outskirts of Luton, and is three miles north of the centre of the town. It possesses one junior and infants school, one church, a golf club, a recreation centre, and several pubs. Also in the area, there is the only Catholic Secondary school in Luton, called Cardinal Newman Roman Catholic School.

There are two hills overlooking the area - Galley Hill (formerly a place of public execution) and Warden Hill - the latter being the biggest and widest of the two. The two hills have now become a Site of Special Scientific Interest, as the Galley and Warden Hills Nature Reserve. There are a number of rare species here, including butterflies, moths, and flowers.
