Discover the Kenilworth Greenway: A traffic-free journey through the heart of Warwickshire
Nestled between the historic town of Kenilworth and the village of Burton Green, the Kenilworth Greenway offers a peaceful, traffic-free escape for cyclists, walkers and families alike. Following the course of a Victorian railway branch line that first opened in 1884, this 6.5km route has been lovingly transformed into one of Warwickshire's most accessible greenways - a quiet corridor of nature connecting communities, countryside, and the University of Warwick campus.
Managed by Warwickshire County Council and forming part of National Cycle Network Route 523, the Kenilworth Greenway links Kenilworth town centre with Tile Hill railway station, making it as practical as it is picturesque. It connects seamlessly with National Route 52 towards Coventry, placing it at the heart of a wider cycling network that extends across the region. The fully surfaced, level path is accessible to wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility scooters, making it open to everyone.
Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or simply looking for a gentle ride through beautiful Warwickshire countryside, the Kenilworth Greenway offers:
- A traffic-free, fully surfaced route suitable for all abilities
- Connections to Kenilworth Castle, Abbey Fields and the town's independent shops and cafés
- Links to the University of Warwick and onward routes to Coventry
- A rich wildlife corridor with woodland, open countryside and seasonal wildlife to discover
Come and ride the Kenilworth Greenway - where railway heritage meets green travel, and Warwickshire's history is never far from view.
