Although the route suggested by Komoot was good there were some problems in the wooded section between the two railway crossings. The path was closed and therefore needed to find a detour.

These man-made Lakes back in the days were a popular spot for swimming, unfortunately, swimming is forbidden now, but it serves great fishing purposes now. There are 3 lakes in total. No cycling is permitted on walking trails around these lakes, but if you have a safe place to leave your bike, you can explore around with pleasure.

Clowes Wood stands as a testament to history, serving as the inaugural reserve owned by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, a generous gift from an anonymous donor back in 1974. With a woodland history that likely traces back to the last ice age, the area endured a near-complete clearing of trees during the early 1900s. Today, it bears the marks of diverse habitats, including heathland, woodlands, and wet meadows, all bisected by the Birmingham to Stratford railway.
