” Kenilworth to Warwick ” ( entirely off road )

Regular followers of this blog may remember a post a few weeks back when we used the sustrans route from Kenilworth to Warwick, I wasn’t a big fan of the route, and was quite critical about it. We were then messaged by a fellow tumblr user, informing us of a regular route he uses along bridleways from Kenilworth castle to Hatton locks on the grand union canal, which we could then use as a link to Warwick.

With nothing better to do with our Sunday ! we decided to check it out. We picked up the bridleway at the rear of the castle, the first section was extremely muddy ! in fact impassable in places ( even on foot ) perseverance paid off, as it wasn’t long before we hit decent paths meandering through the Warwickshire countryside. Lots of reap seed fields that were just starting to flower, the last pic with the very angry sky, was approaching Hatton park estate, we were greeted by a sign requesting that the local dog walkers use their poo bags.

I told the truth - but told it bent. Wandering around bemused and ranty since 2007.
