Embark on a moderate hike that blends the urban elegance of Royal Leamington Spa with tranquil countryside. This 7.1-mile (11.5 km) circular route, taking about 2 hours and 56 minutes, offers a gentle ascent of 158 feet (48 metres) as you explore diverse landscapes. You'll wander past the town's Regency architecture before transitioning to peaceful riverside paths and the flat, surfaced Offchurch Greenway. Enjoy expansive views across South Warwickshire and discover the natural beauty of Leam Valley Local Nature Reserve. The trail provides a refreshing escape, showcasing both historic landmarks and serene natural settings.
This trail is easily accessible, starting directly from the Royal Leamington Spa railway station, making it ideal if you're arriving by public transport. While the paths are generally well-maintained, be ready for a mix of surfaces, from paved sections to natural trails. You won't need any special permits or have to pay fees to enjoy this hike. Consider starting your adventure in the morning to fully appreciate the varied scenery and avoid busier times.
The route uniquely connects the historic charm of Royal Leamington Spa with the peaceful Offchurch Greenway, a former railway line. This section offers a distinct perspective of the Warwickshire countryside, far from the bustle of town. You'll also pass through the picturesque Jephson Gardens, known for its formal flowerbeds and riverside setting. Keep an eye out for the impressive Radford Skew Viaduct, a testament to Victorian engineering, as you traverse the landscape.
