バートンアンドドレイコートでののおすすめグラベルライド

It’s a really nice place to get to and have a café ride. It’s nice to just ride around the reservoir. 

Easy, if slightly bumpy, bridleway. Slightly uphill East to West, but Red Lion at Hunningham worth a stop - even if only to fill water bottle during lock-down.

Bridleway that starts on a private lane then a gravel track through the woods followed by open fields before returning back onto quiet country roads between Eathorpe and Wappenbury.

Local pub with a tex mex twist. Opening hours: Tuesday 5–10pm Wednesday 5–10pm Thursday 5–10pm Friday 5–10pm Saturday 4–10:30pm Sunday 4–10pm Monday Closed

Good quality single-track with grass and hard pack.

Bit muddy and slippery in places in October

You get on here at bottom of the hill going towards Draycote.

This reserve is a large semi-natural ancient woodland. It is rich in plants, butterflies and birds.  Mentioned in the Domesday Book, records show that Richard of Wappenbury was given modest rights over the woods. By the end of the 15th Century, the wood was known by its present name and provided a source of fuel, building materials and hunting opportunities for the local community.   Medieval ridge and furrow plough markings found to the north of the woods, ancient bank boundaries, and the age-old pathway known as Nunwood Lane all provide further evidence of the woods’ age. Nearly clear-felled twice in the 1940s and 1950s, the wood was left to regenerate naturally, helping to increase diversity and contributing to its ecological excellence today.
