Coventry Canal towpath forms a hidden green corridor through the city which is useful for commuting and ideal for family cycling, or for anyone wanting to escape the city without the bother of leaving it first.
Admire award-winning artworks along the Coventry Art Trail, and look out for wildlife - the observant may spot kingfishers, white-clawed crayfish, dragonflies and herons...even the odd otter or water vole.
Cyclists may join the route at a point just west of the junction of Leicester Causeway and Stoney Stanton Road (the B4109), about a mile north-east of the City Centre. From here, the ride runs northwards to the wonderful Conservation Area at Hawkesbury where the Coventry and Oxford Canals meet; an excellent place to stop, eat and drink.
