Quite dull but this can be ridden across in summer

Coventry Canal Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Lovely quiet walk down a hardly used canal footpath, plenty of boats, ducks, horses and even some llamas. Great spot to get away from it all for an hour.

View of Atherstone Countryside

Highlight • Viewpoint

A personal highlight of mine on any early morning walk, run or cycle.

Abbey Green Bridge

A nice park in the centre of Polesworth featuring a nature reserve, play area, and access to the canal. Theres always plenty of ducks to feed if you are taking the young ones.
