Nuneaton Circular
Nuneaton to Hinckley
A pleasant, fairly direct route on a mix of pavements, farm tracks, towpath and lanes and including a stretch along the Ashby Canal and across wide open fields by the infant River Anker. The towpath and a bridleway between hedges can be very wet and muddy. Follows the Ashby Canal for a stretch. Transport links, shops and stops at either end.
Time: 2h30–5h
1 lunch spot: the Lime Kilns
Warnings: A quarter urban. On the A4254 Eastboro Way, stay on the south side as the north pavement disappears where crossing is awkward. The section east of Attleborough is very wet and muddy.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Atherstone to Nuneaton
A relaxing, easy-to-follow route mainly along the Coventry Canal towpath and with short pavement sections through the towns at each end. The towpath surface varies and can be muddy in places. Follows the Coventry Canal; passes canal marinas, evidence of quarrying and an information board on the possible site of Boudica's last battle. A direct train links the two towns.
Waterway: four fifths along the Coventry Canal.
Time: 2h30–5h
Lunch: Shops and a variety of supermarkets in Nuneaton, with stops and shops at both ends.
