Overview

This easy walk takes us past the old Coventry Stadium, through Birchley Wood and along the Centenary Way where we will stop at picnic tables by the Visitors Centre for lunch. Coffee, snacks and toilets are all available here. From there we will make our way to the picturesque Coombe Abbey which is now a hotel, and we can spend time taking photos of the house & grounds. The return is along tracks and fields to Brinklow. 

Should there be interest, we could visit any of the pubs on the High Street although The Bulls Head Inn has been used previously.
