Coundon Wedge

COUNDON WEDGE GRASSLANDS - Bridge over River Sherbourne - Map23 G5 - Dec-2001 Excellent walking country in the Coventry "Green Belt" wedge, not effected as much as feared by the "recent" new road. Many paths, but some get very muddy.  You can also keep to the old lanes, almost unused by motor vehicles now.  You will more likely meet cyclists - or cows!  A very popular area for walking dogs. There is a small copse - Jubilee Copse - planted in 1995 to mark 60 years of the Ramblers Association. The River Sherbourne flows through the area, plus a number of tributaries and ponds.   See also "A Guide to Walks in Coundon Wedge"   Good for Dogs rating: Excellent for dogs.  A favourite place for most dog owners, with lots of variety and interest for them and their dogs.
