Overview

Join me to explore the attractive countryside around the villages of Thurlaston and Draycote. The walk includes part of the former Leamington Spa to Rugby railway line and a stretch of Draycote Water.  We may also get to see some alpaca families !

The terrain mostly involves good tracks, quiet lanes and gently undulating fields. Some sections will be muddy if there has been rain and there’s a slightly watery, potentially slippery section over old wooden steps and railway sleepers. There are a handful of stiles (decent), a golf course crossing and a sturdy but narrow open footbridge over a stream.
