We are the Coventry Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a varied walk involving meadows, streams, quiet country lanes and a stretch of the Grand Union Canal. We’ll start at Hatton Locks and wind our way through the countryside to the north of the canal to reach the outskirts of Warwick. We’ll picnic at Warwick Cemetery and then follow the impressive flight of locks (aka the “Stairway to Heaven”) up to Hatton.
Although much of the route is on firm surfaces there are also some muddy and watery sections. There are a couple of busy road crossings and a couple of low canal bridges - taller walkers watch your heads ! There are no stiles.
Hatton Locks Cafe and Hatton Arms pub are both close by should anyone want refreshments after the walk.

• Wear suitable clothing and footwear for the conditions – if in doubt, ask the walk leader
• Bring ample food and water, depending on the length of the walk
• If you feel unwell, or need to slow down or stop, let the walk leader or back marker know
Meet on the grassy area just before and to the right of the canal bridge. Hatton Locks pay and display car park is next to the start (£3.50, payable by card or PayByPhone). There is some overflow car parking if required over the canal bridge and to the right, near the Canal & River Trust hut, though you’ll need to head back across the bridge to buy your ticket. Car sharing would be useful.
