Although the route suggested by Komoot was good there were some problems in the wooded section between the two railway crossings. The path was closed and therefore needed to find a detour.

loverly lakes

Babbs Mill Lake sits in the Babbs Mill Local Nature Reserve and has a designated cycle path running right the way through. There are benches dotted around and ample open space for a sit-down and picnic. Make sure to say hi to the local wildlife who you'll spot milling around the lake.

These man-made Lakes back in the days were a popular spot for swimming, unfortunately, swimming is forbidden now, but it serves great fishing purposes now. There are 3 lakes in total. No cycling is permitted on walking trails around these lakes, but if you have a safe place to leave your bike, you can explore around with pleasure.

Good for young train spotters otherwise nothing special

Beautiful spot with views across the lakes

Clowes Wood stands as a testament to history, serving as the inaugural reserve owned by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, a generous gift from an anonymous donor back in 1974. With a woodland history that likely traces back to the last ice age, the area endured a near-complete clearing of trees during the early 1900s. Today, it bears the marks of diverse habitats, including heathland, woodlands, and wet meadows, all bisected by the Birmingham to Stratford railway.
