Centenary Way Walk - Kingsbury Water Park to Hawkesbury Junction

The first section of the Warwickshire Centenary Way (southbound) long distance path, starting at Kingsbury Water park and ending at Hawkesbury Junction on the Coventry Canal.

A walk of great variation, taking in north Warwickshires rolling farmland, mining villages, and several miles of canal towpaths. There are a number of stiles to negotiate with livestock being found in many fieldsin many fields. This is a rewarding ramble through North Warwickshire, offering some quiet out-of-the way corners of the county which contrast with more urbanised sections.
