Extra Walk! Stratford - Barford 7.7m - Linear Bus Pass ramble Thurs 1st Aug
We had a good walk. It was a bit overgrown near the River Avon before Hampton Lucy. We ended the walk near Wasperton as it was very hot. We had covered the best part of the walk. We caught the bus back to Warwick from the main road.

Thorpe Mandeville - Sulgrave - Culworth 6.2 miles - Wed 24th July
It was a good walk and the pub was still good!
Meet at my house to share transport at 9.30 a.m. or see directions below. Please email me if you are coming.
This walk is in a beautiful part of Northamptonshire close to the Oxfordshire border, like the last walk. It also passes near to the site of the Battle of Edgcote 1469 which took place during the Wars of the Roses. There is a beautiful view of the ancient battlefield. We enjoyed the area and pub so much that I have arranged this walk to stop at the same pub. It has about one mile in common with the Edgcote - Culworth 6.35m walk done on Wed 26th June.
So, I suggest we stop at the excellent Red Lion pub in Culworth after about 3.75 miles walking. We had a very tasty light lunch served by friendly staff. That leaves about 2.5 miles after lunch.
Directions
Take the M40 South. At J11 (Banbury) take the second left onto the A422. At the next roundabout take the first exit onto the B4525 Banbury Lane. After 2 to 2.5 miles turn left onto Banbury Lane to Thorpe Mandeville. Go through the village and park near the church. The journey is about 27 miles and takes about 40 minutes from Warwick.
