Occasionally have open days

Might stop one day and have a proper look at the fort

Busy road most times of the day. To avoid riding on the road you can use the path on south/west side between A46 rdbt and hill wooton turn, then Sandy lane, then path on north side before actual cycle path begins after entering Leamington

A fine example of a Warwickshire town. Lovely old town centre with plenty of options for refreshments.

The Lunt Roman Fort is the archaeological site of a Roman fort, of unknown name, in the Roman province of Britannia. It is open to the public and located in the village of Baginton on the south eastern outskirts of Coventry. The fort has now been fully excavated and partially reconstructed; the wooden gateway rebuild was led by archaeologist Margaret Rylatt, using the same tools and techniques that the military engineers of the Roman Army would have used. In 2001, Anglo Saxon artefacts dating to Sub-Roman Britain were discovered on the site. Four periods of occupation of the fort during periods of unrest in Roman Britain have been identified by excavation. The fort was built around AD 60 to act as a supply depot and headquarters for an unknown legion during the final campaign against Boudica. From AD 64 it was used, in the second phase, by a cohort which reduced the size of the fort, but from which the principia, praetorium, two granaries and six barrack blocks have been excavated. A number of buildings were demolished to construct a gyrus.[citation needed] Many horse fittings, possible stabling, an extensive metalworking area, granary and storage space suggests a cavalry unit was present at this time. This second phase lasted until AD 77/8. The third period of AD 77/78-79 included construction of a double ditch system, a twin-portalled gateway on the south and occupation outside the defences until the fort was decommissioned. After AD 260, perhaps during the rebel Gallic Empire, it was recommissioned as a temporary fort with ditches on a similar alignment but slightly larger than that of Period 2. Gyrus The north, south and west sides followed the usual pattern for a Roman camp of straight ditches and ramparts. However, on the eastern side the defences bulge out around a circular structure with a diameter of 32 m (105 ft). The sand and gravel subsoil had been dug out to a depth of 600 to 900 mm (24 to 35 in) and the area surrounded with a timber stockade. This ring, the only known "gyrus" in the Roman Empire, may have been used for training horses. The gyrus was added to the fort during its second period of occupation and its construction caused significant disruption to the fort. Having the gyrus within the fort affects not just the wall which curves to accommodate the structure deviating from the Roman playing card shape pattern but also the layout of the fort which is significantly different from the standard layout. This makes the fort unique not just in Britain but also in the Roman Empire.

This market town was mentioned in Shakespeare's Henry VI.

a nice canal side pub

Young Jason selling his work, so cool, hope he does well...

Interesting place for kids to visit.

One of the nicest lanes in Warwickshire. Picturesque, smooth, minimal traffic and it actually goes somewhere! A highlight of National Cycle Route 41.

Lovely family friendly country park. Very smooth surface which is perfect for cycling on any type of bike. Plenty of other activities available including fishing and a miniature railway. There is also a cafe on site for refreshments. http://countryparks.warwickshire.gov.uk/country-parks/ryton-pools-country-park/

The site of Marston Doles Wharf, a canal wharf, where vessels would have loaded and unloaded goods. It was located north of the lock. The complex consists of 2×2-storey canal cottages in red brick; a yellow brick one-storey stable block and a two-storeywarehouse with blue brick decoration dated 1865, with an opening over the canal. There is a small basin. The buildings are generally in original condition and appear to be domestic dwellings and farm buildings.

Breathtaking views and smooth fun roads
