Located 400 meters north of the church, Hunningham Bridge is a stone arch bridge that crosses the River Leam and has its origins in the Medieval period. Interestingly, it was rebuilt in 1651 at a cost of 20 pounds.

The Church of St. John the Baptist, which had its origins in the Medieval era, underwent reconstruction during the Imperial period. It was built in the early 13th century when it consisted of chancel and nave.

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.

In this section, we can observe the four Bascote Locks, which are a part of the Grand Union Canal. This stretch features a staircase, and at the highest lock, remnants of older narrow locks can be seen.

Holy Trinity Church has its origins in the 1100s, undergoing modifications over the following years, with notable improvements undertaken during the 1400s. The Millennium route runs alongside this church, which we can follow if we want to enjoy a pleasant run in the area.

This provides a wonderfully scenic section for running, taking you from the Radford Skew Viaduct to the Longhole Bridge, while following the Grand Union Canal the entire way and passing by the Fosse Water Point.

This impressive railway viaduct crosses diagonally over the canal, positioned above the lock, and it currently has as a very nice section of a footpath and cycling route. This stands as a remarkable demonstration of Victorian engineering excellence and constitutes a significant component of the landscape corridor.

The reign of Offa, the King of Mercia, lasted from 757 until his death in July 796, and it is believed that he established the church at Offchurch, since he had a hunting lodge or fortified residence nearby this area.
