The Sowe Valley Footpath

This footpath follows the River Sowe in Coventry from Hawksbury Junction to Whitley.

You won't find this marked on an OS map but a leaflet is available in pdf form from here.

I haven't walked the entire footpath as yet which is about 12 miles but I have walked sections as circular routes from where I live.

One walk circular walk I did in March 2018 is known as the Walsgrave-Caludon Circle.

Once you add on the distance from my house this was about 6 miles.

Two points of interest are the remains of the 14th Century Caludon Castle and the church of St Mary Magdalene which is the oldest parish church in Coventry. I was very lucky with the weather.
