It’s a really nice place to get to and have a café ride. It’s nice to just ride around the reservoir. 

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.

Bit muddy and slippery in places in October

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.

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

Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy though beware of the flies!

Cuts off the main road into Brinklow, it's only 200m long

Radford, lock 23, is the first of twenty locks that lift the canal 146’ to join the Oxford Canal at Napton. Back pumps were installed here in 1942 to return water from the bottom level.

There hasn't been any management of trees and shrubs along the Greenway since 1968, so they have cut down the self seeding sycamore to give the other plants a chance to grow. The foliage cuts out so much light from the ground level. At least they have a reason to cu the trees down...

The guys are making a Midlands hedge...

Excellent greenway, the wild plants are so well kept...

There are ways down onto the greenway all along this route

Often along this stretch going up Offchurch Greenway or going further on along the canal

Nice ride along the greenway no too wet...

Few people now with this weather...

Fosse Bottom Lock is lock No. 22 on the Grand Union Canal's Northern Main Line. Lock numbering starts at No. 1 in Napton at the southern end and finish with No. 64 at Nechells at the northern end.

The bike and the greenway

long bridge with two arches, road and river...

Can't say I have ever seen sheep so near to water

So quiet along this stretch not as busy as Hatton area...
