I did this route from Stoneleigh to Kenilworth and tagged KenRoy2 onto it. Good walk, but a few things contributed to my rating such as a fair bit of road walking, and engineering works for both HS2 and junction improvements at the A46.

The route has many kissing gates and as mentioned elsewhere, an unavoidable staircase when leaving the A46 junction. The signage gets a bit unclear travelling through the golf course, but at least there was no golf being played when I went through. There's also a footbridge to get over the railway at the station.

Some lovely stretches through farmland and fields, but mostly road walking as you leave Kenilworth and an unpleasant stretch of the busy Stoneleigh Road (some of it walking on a grass verge) once you've crossed over the A46. The golf course was pleasant enough to walk through, but can be busy with balls whizzing around you.

Report

Short walk with far too road. The path is well marked and even has warning about which way to look for incoming golf balls when acrossing the golf course. Too much road to recomend on it's own but good as part of Leamington-Kenilworth-Stoneleigh loop.

Report

Pleasant walk, especially enjoyed the bits before during and immediately after the golf course. Would have given 5 stars if not for slightly nerve-wracking section on path next to very busy road.
