Just started working out that way. Looking at the maps there are a fair few Bridalways towards Butlers Marston. Anyone got a gpx of a good route?

Talk to the guys in the bike shop in Wellesbourne.

https://www.cycleroute-warks.co.uk/

They run rides on week day evenings and at the weekends.

Try the airfield Touchdown Cafe; it's not a route, but they do have maps on the tables (s'true!)

Can you still ride up Lakey Hill and over to Lower Loxley?

If I knew how to share my Strava routes I'd have a few. Not that many actually through Wellesbourne as to get out that way from Leamington you generally have to do a bit of road and I try to avoid that if possible.

Loads of routes around Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth though that all get linked up.

might not have been a cube.  Were you riding there at about 3 yesterday?

@ Pook on a Trek road bike commuting once or twice a week. Would like to take the hard tail to work and do a quick loop on a Friday afternoon. @kayak23 strava would be good if you have any of the bridalways towards Combrook, Butlers Marston, Ettington, etc?

Hmm, I don't I'm afraid. Haven't really ventured into those specific areas as yet. They'll pretty much all be nettle hell like most of Warwickshire at this time though. 😀

Actually, I've done a couple of routes near Combrook, but I can't find them on my Strava.

You can loop around Compton Verney Lake and near to Lighthorne rough, and Jaguar LandRover proving grounds etc.

It's all very edge of field xc, linked by road sections around there mostly. Nothing particularly stands out singletrack-wise.

Still, nice to be out. I'd just link up the bridleways from wherever you start and see what happens.

Try searching in the Viewranger app.
