Overview

This leisurely 7-mile walk starts from Alvecote and takes in some lane walking before crossing the fields to Shuttington and on to Polesworth. Walking along the Coventry Canal towpath before taking a break at Pooley Country Park Visitor Centre, we continue along the towpath, bypassing Alvecote Pools and returning to Alvecote.
