Bridge over Fosse Way is currently being built. Looks like it could be open early 2026

Encompassing a stretch of 3 kilometers along the northern bank of the River Leam, this nature reserve features a diverse range of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, marshes, and ponds. The ecological significance of this area lies in its capacity to support various bird species, butterflies, dragonflies, and a vibrant array of wildflowers. Apart from this, the reserve also has amenities such as a skateboard park, an adventure playground, and a dedicated area for children's play. These facilities have been strategically situated at a distance to ensure minimal disruption to the local wildlife.

No idea why they close a footpath/bridleway, you can still get past in to the farmer’s fields… HS2 should have completed this months ago…

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.

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.

The roundabout on the Fosse Way near to the top of Offchurch Greenway. Couldn’t believe with the new highway code bikes have to wait for cars at the junction… After all HS2 should be doing away with cars as well…

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