Lake View Park


LAKE VIEW PARK - looking NW to Allesley - December 2001

Sherbourne Valley Footpath?

The Lake was planned but never constructed. That leaves an even larger stretch of grassland, with the River Sherbourne flowing through the middle.

The park also contains Grants Wood Nature Reserve, and to the south is a large area of cultivated allotments and over-run allotments.

The whole forms a good walk in its own right, but also makes a link to the Coundon Wedge with only a short stretch of the Holyhead Road in between.

The link road from the City Centre is rather longer, but takes in Spon Street, the old bridge over the River Sherbourne, Spon End and passes the Chapelfields conservation area on route.

Together they allow a good long walk from the City Centre to Allesley - the nearest thing we have to a Sherbourne Valley Footpath?
 

Good for Dogs rating: 3 dogs

Excellent place for dogs.  Lots of open grass, rough grass, a river, a stream and woodland.  Apart from at the Four Pounds Avenue end, it is mostly well clear of roads.
