This charming duck pond is nestled in the picturesque village of Willoughby. A nearby bench offers a perfect place to rest and recharge, and just a short stroll away is The Rose Inn, a lovely village pub.

The only underpass far and wide, here you can get to the other side of the bank. Separate for pedestrians and cyclists.

St John the Baptist church, a beautiful place to take a moment mid-ride. You can walk all around the church and marvel at the architecture.

Brinklow Castle is known locally as the Tump. It's a medieval motte and bailey castle based on a prehistoric long barrow and modified in the 11th century. It's quite large for this period with a 12m high motte and a 121m by 152m bailey. The grass mounds are still clearly visible.

Coombe Abbey is a grade 1 listed building and is now a hotel. It was built as a impressive country house with beautiful gardens. The gardens are now a country park freely available for visitors and managed by the Coventry City Council.
