Over the May bank holiday weekend, my son and I completed the Sowe Valley Footpath. We did it over two days as we incorporated associated walks so that we could do it from our house.

| Day One |
On Day One we walked from our house and joined the Binley circle (pink) and then the Willenhall circle (lilac) to get to the official start of the path. We then walked along the path to just before the Binley Road (Ullswater Rd) when we left the path to walk home. That was 8.5 miles.

| Day Two |
On Day Two we walked from home to where we had left the path the day before and followed the path to the end at Hawkesbury Junction and the Greyhound Inn. This was 9 miles.
Despite the walk being through urban areas for the most part there is an amazing amount of nature areas to be found. It was lovely to see a different side of Coventry. On one part of the path near the hospital we saw a kestrel (we think) and we saw a number of nesting birds.
