Cover of Book Explore "The Countryside on Your Doorstep" with 21 Circular Walks

A Coventry Way CIRCULAR WALKS

The book is now available.   See Coventry Way Website - 21 Circular Walks for details.

It is an excellent publication.  It describes 21 good circular walks from 3.5 to 12 miles linked to "A Coventry Way".  They are all in the countryside in Coventry, or just over the border - all within 6.5 mile radius from the centre of Coventry. 

For each walk there is:

• a route description, with on the facing A5 page
• an excellent Map showing the route
• with most, a short cut option creating a described "Route A" from 2.5 to 8.5 miles.
• brief history notes on the previous pages, plus
• brief wildlife notes
• information on public houses and other refreshment outlets
• ... and much more.

Buy yourself a copy, and find out how good it is for yourself.
  

Summary of Walks, plus relationship to Coventry Walks website

The overview map below shows an outline of the main walks, superimposed on a smaller scale copy of the Coventry Walks maps.  I hope it is mostly self explanatory.

Where the route comes onto the Coventry Walks maps, the route is highlighted on each map, and marked CWCWnn, where nn is the walk number.  Highlighting colours and labelling convention on the Coventry Walks maps are as shown below:

Highlight colour is  Aqua or Dark Aqua - two colours are used to distinguish between two CWCW adjacent routes.  The narrow version of the highlight line is used where the path is shared between a number of described routes.

The same colour highlighting is used on the overview map below for all routes which show on the Coventry Walks maps, with Orange or repeats of the same colours used for other walks.  The overview map will open in most browsers fitting to width of window.  You can change viewing size to suit your needs.

A few "useless" statistics may be of interest:

• Many walks (7) are within the "A Coventry Way" (ACW) route, using ACW as part of the walk, and the paths between ACW and Coventry built up area for the rest of the route.
• Others (11) are just outside ACW, again using ACW as part of the walk.
• Three (Nos 3, 4, 5) are both inside and outside ACW.
  
• 4 come within the Coventry boundary, and 4 more just touch the Coventry boundary.  One (No 5) starts at the Memorial Park, and is about half within Coventry.
• 15 come partly within the Coventry Walks maps;  5 of which only just make it on, but one (No 19) is completely on, and one (No 15) almost completely on.
