Warwickshire & the South Midlands Cycle Map

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

Warwickshire & the South Midlands Cycle Map

This area map shows the National Cycle Network and local routes in this area. It covers the Warwickshire & South Midlands area of the Midlands region of England, including Warwick, Coventry, Rugby, Northampton and Kettering.

Warwickshire is predominantly rural with gently undulating terrain, and lovely leafy lanes far off the beaten track. Home to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, the county also has two major castles at Warwick and Kenilworth, canalside cycling on the Grand Union Canal, and the Lias Line, a great traffic-free cycling route from Rugby to Warwick.

This pocket-sized colour map shows clearly mapped on-road and traffic-free paths, easy to read contours, and detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities as well as recommended linking routes connecting the NCN with quiet roads. The map also features 5 day rides with directions and a description of the area, highlighting key cycle routes, local history and places of interest.

Please see our interactive map key for UK coverage of our pocket cycle map series.
