ニュートンアンドビギンのおすすめライド

The only underpass far and wide, here you can get to the other side of the bank. Separate for pedestrians and cyclists.

Draycote Water is an artificial reservoir (23 million m3), which was completed in 1969. In addition to its function as a water reserve, it is a leisure park u.a. for anglers, sailors, hikers. The rich bird life invites also to observations. Swimming is not allowed in the lake.

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.

Nice view of the Oxford Canal from the brick built Brinklow Road bridge.

Brinklow Castle is known locally as the Tump. It's a medieval motte and bailey castle based on a prehistoric long barrow and modified in the 11th century. It's quite large for this period with a 12m high motte and a 121m by 152m bailey. The grass mounds are still clearly visible.

There is a visitor centre and shop with a café. The café serves breakfast, lunch and snacks. It's open Mon to Fri 9:00 - 17:00 and 8:00 - 18:00 on Sat and Sun.

Coombe Abbey is a grade 1 listed building and is now a hotel. It was built as a impressive country house with beautiful gardens. The gardens are now a country park freely available for visitors and managed by the Coventry City Council.

One of my favourite stretches. Easy to find some gravel round there too if that's your thing.
