Nuneaton & Bedworth

'We are independent of, but affiliated to the Ramblers. We organise walks nearly every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and in the summer there are some short evening walks.'

'Walking the Way to Health initiative (WHI) aims to get more people walking in their own communities, especially those who take little exercise or live in area's of poor health. We will be promoting walking within the area with events throughout the coming year ... Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council (NBBC) aims to increase the number of walkers locally. Anyone of any age and ability are welcome to the walks and our walk leaders will help you to walk at a pace that is right for you.'

'The Bedworth Society Town Trail is slightly less than a mile and a quarter long and can easily be walked in about an hour. This can be extended by exploring the Miners Welfare Park, or a welcome rest in the green oasis of Church Walk.'

'A series of "Your Green Track" walking routes has been completed that give you an opportunity to explore parts of the countryside in Nuneaton, Bedworth and Bulkington. The walks include interconnecting routes spanning the borough allowing you to walk through local parks, disused railway lines, open countryside and are all mainly off road and circular routes.'

'This super circular walk was devised by the Nuneaton Rotary Club and takes you on a tour of the countryside, parks and canals around Nuneaton.' Note The Nuneaton Rotarians no longer organize an annual sponsored walk of this route, but 'we continue to provide back up by way of a Guide to the Walk and a Certificate of Completion upon request. We still maintain the route through Rotary Waymarks'.

The Oxford Canal is 'a long-distance route, following the towpath for 77 miles from Oxford to Hawkesbury. The gentle engineering of the canal, with few lock flights, means that the walking is always easy, and the scenery is stunning'. The Walk itself can (also) begin 'near Hawkesbury Village at Hawkesbury Junction, also known as Sutton Stop, where it connects with the Coventry Canal, four miles from the centre of Coventry'.
