High quality new Sustrans bridge onto the Draycote Greenway. Be prepared for steep descent to Fosse Way at western end which also needs a bridge to be re-installed for access to other side of the road.

Bike Park is open. Bridge is closed till end of summer 2024 (estimated). You’ll have to park up by the sports centre - which most visitors will anyway.

This impressive railway viaduct crosses diagonally over the canal, positioned above the lock, and it currently has as a very nice section of a footpath and cycling route. This stands as a remarkable demonstration of Victorian engineering excellence and constitutes a significant component of the landscape corridor.
