셔틀턴 최고의 러닝 경로

코벤트리 운하의 인기 있는 합류 지점으로, 합류 지점을 조금 지나 탐 강 위로 지나갑니다. 버밍엄 방향으로 가면 Drayton Bassett와 Drayton Manor 근처의 유명한 흰색 스윙 브리지를 지나게 됩니다. Middleton Lakes RSPB 사이트, Middleton Hall 및 Kingsbury Water Park까지 운하를 따라 걸으세요.

Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

Nice quiet lanes for cycling around Orton on the hill

Very nice views on this nice quiet road. There is a steep little hill as you approach Orton on the Hill.

Towpath is usually in pretty good condition for most of the year. Probably not all suitable for a road bike but anything with 40mm or above tyres is going to be fine.

A great place to build into a run. A flat canal followed by a bit of ascent to the golden needle (an industrial sized sundial)

Quite narrow in places, good scenery

Burnt Sunlight sundial. Great views and fascinating concept
