Overview

A circular flat walk, from Leamington Spa to Warwick and back. This route takes advantage of the figure of the 8 possible using the Leam and Avon rivers and the Grand Union canal, spending much of the distance in the wonderful well maintained parks of both towns. We skirt around the famous Warwick castle and traverse through Warwick Race course. There's the opportunity for a drink in a pub afterwards as well. Please bring packed lunch and it may well be muddy.
