The Stables

Rail Trail: Dorridge > Lapworth

Follows a disused railway line with a flat, traffic-free surface perfect for buggies, young children and dogs. Gentle terrain runs through peaceful woodland and farmland between two Warwickshire villages. Ideal for cyclists too – smooth crushed stone path means easy going both ways. Worth it for the safe, accessible route and quiet countryside escape just south of Solihull.

Train & Trek

Combines rail access with countryside walking, letting you step off the train and straight onto footpaths through Warwickshire's rolling farmland and historic villages. Expect gentle to moderate inclines across fields and quiet lanes. Ideal for families with older children (8+) who can manage stiles and uneven ground—not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Perfect for car-free explorers wanting a proper rural ramble without the driving hassle.

National Trust

Meanders through gentle National Trust farmland and ancient woodland between two historic estates, with mostly flat terrain punctuated by a few modest inclines. The 8km route suits older children but isn't buggy-friendly due to stiles, field paths, and potentially muddy sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for the pastoral scenery, glimpses of Tudor manor houses, and the chance to explore two National Trust properties at either end.
