This is a short walk that partly goes along the old midland railway track bed that went from Nuneaon Trent Valley to Stoke golding and out to Market Bosworth and Shakerstone.
1. From Church Lane go over the footbridge accross the River Anker and follow the stoned footpath keeping the river on your left
2. After approximately 1/3 mile follow the path that bears to the right alongside the steel fencing. Go through the gate and follow the path between the two fences before joining the Green Lane. Stay on the Green Lane for approximately 3/4 mile before.
The river below is the river Anker
Where the second lot of seats are is the fork in the tracks and site of the old signal box. Looking back, where you've just walked went to Nuneaton Trent Valley Station, the right hand grassed over fork went straight ahead, crossed over the main line and and called at Midland Abbey Street Station. The bridge is fenced off now and there's no route over the railway.
3. crossing the A444 (remember to take care!). On the other side of the A444 rejoin the Green Lane and continue on for 300 metres before
4. turning right( almost back on yourself) down the embankment to a kissing gate. Go through the gate and follow th path down the edge of the field, keeping the hedge on your left. After 100 metres go through another gate into the next field. The path now continues across two more fields with the hedge now on your right.
5. At the end of the second field go through the kissing gate onto the farm track, turn left at the A444 and follow the pavement into Weddington.
