January 3, 2025, Draycote Greenway Sustrans Bridge

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.

Fantastic views over the water and a small beach. Fishermen in waders are often spotted here catching dinner.

Bridleway that starts on a private lane then a gravel track through the woods followed by open fields before returning back onto quiet country roads between Eathorpe and Wappenbury.
