The route has been developed by Warwickshire County Council since 1989, working in partnership with Sustrans, to produce a high quality surfaced path suitable for cyclists, walkers and wheelchair users.

8:00 am to 5:00 pm or dusk (car park locked, but you can always get out after it's locked)
The route is signed southwards from the railway station at Stratford-upon-Avon, and the railway path begins near the racecourse at Seven Meadows Road. If you keep quiet, you may hear the song of the skylarks which nest here. There is a picnic area beside the River Avon. The route crosses the Avon using the multispan Stannals Bridge, and then crosses the Stour. The route continues through peaceful countryside to the village of Long Marston.
